Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to the use of sidecars to perform dynamic Application Programming Interface (API) contract generation and conversion. In an example, a first call by a first microservice to a first API of a second microservice is intercepted by a first sidecar of the first microservice. The first API is of a first API type of multiple API types and is specified by a first contract. An API type of the multiple API types is selected by the first sidecar. Responsive to determining the selected API type differs from the first API type, based on the first contract, a second contract is generated by the first sidecar specifying a second API of the selected API type; and a second sidecar of the second microservice is caused to generate the second API and internally connect the second API to the first API based on the second contract.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to intelligent management of microservices failover. In an example, responsive to an uncorrectable hardware error associated with a processing resource of a platform on which a task of a service is being performed by a primary microservice, a failover trigger is received by a failover service. A secondary microservice is identified by the failover service that is operating in lockstep mode with the primary microservice. The secondary microservice is caused by the failover service to takeover performance of the task in non-lockstep mode based on failover metadata persisted by the primary microservice. The primary microservice is caused by the failover service to be taken offline.

Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) device can include a mesa with a sidewall encompassing a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, and an active region between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer are oppositely doped. The active region includes a quantum well.

Abstract: A plant treatment platform uses a plant detection model to detect plants as the plant treatment platform travels through a field. The plant treatment platform receives image data from a camera that captures images of plants (e.g., crops or weeds) growing in the field. The plant treatment platform applies pre-processing functions to the image data to prepare the image data for processing by the plant detection model. For example, the plant treatment platform may reformat the image data, adjust the resolution or aspect ratio, or crop the image data. The plant treatment platform applies the plant detection model to the pre-processed image data to generate bounding boxes for the plants. The plant treatment platform then can apply treatment to the plants based on the output of the machine-learned model.
