Foyle: You produce it, AI would possibly perchance well silent bustle it

As infrastructure complexity grows with cloud services, Kubernetes clusters, networking setups, and security policies, even seasoned builders grapple with deploying and working their capabilities. I created Foyle to address these challenges.

Foyle is an AI that helps builders operate their system by utilizing LLMs to translate intent into motion.

Why Foyle?As builders at the present time, we time and again know what we must accomplish but fight with the how;

What’s the observability ask to present us the tips we need?
What are the kubectl instructions to deploy our system?
What are the gcp/aws/azure instructions to grant our application adequate privileges?

Foyle solves this train by turning your intent into executable instructions. You glean interplay with Foyle by writing and running VScode Notebooks utilizing the Runme extension. As you creator markup cells describing “the what,” Foyle suggests code cells containing instructions, “the how.” You may perchance well be able to then bustle the code cells to maintain your desired result.

foyle_ghost_cells — As you declare Runme, Foyle continuously learns from your interactions so it would possibly perchance in all probability better enable you to with same operations in due route.

Who is Foyle for?

Application builders who favor to seize ownership of their operations with out getting slowed down in DevOps complexities.
Infra groups searching out for to streamline their workflows and lower repetitive initiatives.
Platform groups aiming to empower builders while offering guardrails and paved paths.
Organizations searching out for to lower the productivity sink associated with onboarding engineers to contemporary platform stacks.

How is Foyle different?I factor in Foyle will assist make a collaborative, evolving environment where builders can arrange infrastructure more successfully and successfully.

Built-in Execution Atmosphere: Not like AIs built spherical a chat interface, Foyle uses VScode notebooks and Runme to can will let you seamlessly approve and stay the on the spot operations.
Ghost cells: Foyle uses ghost cells to repeatedly update suggestions as you kind. This combines the upper of chat interfaces and ghost text. Ghost cells make a upright suggestions loop that lets you fleet arrive at the minimal on the spot desired to info the AI appropriately.
Valid Learning: Foyle continually learns from user interactions. At any time if you stay a cell, Foyle logs the execution and improves its capability to maintain same initiatives.
Self-Documenting Operations: By shooting the intent (in markdown) and the actions (in code cells), Foyle creates comprehensive, executable documentation of your infrastructure operations.
Local: Foyle can bustle in the neighborhood for your machine or cluster. This means sensitive facts about your infrastructure by no capability leaves your adjust.

Foyle at WorkIn this demo, I existing how Foyle enable you to realise the associated price of serving a user query of.

I initiate my evaluation by developing a recent markdown doc in Runme and writing down the questions I must resolution. In this case:

How worthy am I spending on LLMs in Foyle?
Put I exhaust more on enter or output tokens?

As I write these questions, Foyle suggests instructions I will be succesful to bustle to resolution them. The on the spot instructions are rendered as ghost cells; code cells with lightly greyed-out text. In this case, Foyle suggests an SQL ask I will be succesful to utilize to count the choice of enter and output tokens and their associated costs.

Since Foyle generates the ask, I don’t must demolish time attempting to seize SQL syntax or the table’s schema. If I’m contemporary to the crew, I would now no longer know that this data is on hand in SQLite, but Foyle does.

By solving these complications, Foyle lets me focal level on examining the tips. In this case, I will be succesful to drill down and stumble on at some right requests and responses. To accomplish that, I glean to assemble loads of steps to plot the user query of identification (“contextid”) into the categorical LLM query of/response. The sequence of steps and the corresponding instructions are shown in the table below.

Intent	Motion
Rating the most contemporary session	curl -X POST http://localhost: 8877/api/foyle.logs.SessionsService/GetSession -H “Announce material-Form: application/json” -d ‘{“contextId”: “01J8TTD061VRWC41ZCXGXVHXKH”}’ \| jq .
Rating the most contemporary hint	TRACEID=”b445939345b4ecdb04d6de0623a3592e” curl -s -o /tmp/response.json -X POST http://localhost: 8877/api/foyle.logs.LogsService/GetLLMLogs -H “Announce material-Form: application/json” -d “{“traceId”: “${TRACEID}”}” CODE=”$?” if [ $CODE -ne 0 ]; then echo “Error came about while fetching LLM logs” exit $CODE fi
Render the query of as HTML	jq -r ‘.responseJson’ /tmp/response.json > /tmp/oairesponse.json foyle llms render response –enter=/tmp/oairesponse.json

Remembering and authoring these instructions would possibly perchance well perchance be a stressful project. Thankfully, Foyle makes this straightforward. As the video below shows, all I glean to accomplish is recount my intent, and Foyle generates the instructions.

At this level, I better know the map in which worthy it costs to reduction a query of in my application and the map in which I’d lower these costs. Utilizing Foyle, I’d focal level on evaluation somewhat than hacking on shell instructions. Since I’m utilizing Runme, my evaluation is mechanically saved as a markdown doc, which I will be succesful to with out pains part with my colleagues.

Foyle successfully assisted me attributable to it has realized about my application. For instance, it is aware of that

my application recordsdata is in SQLite
the GetLLMLogs and GetSessions RPCs is also inclined to web traces
the Foyle CLI can generate HTML reports exhibiting LLM requests and responses

Foyle is aware of this attributable to it has realized from my old interactions. As a facet-stay of utilizing Runme to stay initiatives, I prepare Foyle to be a DevOps expert for my application.

DevOps with out Foyle

To ogle the associated price Foyle offers we can review it to how I would glean analyzed the associated price to reduction with out utilizing Foyle.

To make the ask, I would must provide the total cramped print, e.g. schema, as a part of the on the spot to ChatGPT or Claude attributable to they glean got no data of my application.

Since I don’t favor to accomplish this at any time after I must test the associated price of serving, I’d make a script or dashboard to bustle this ask. Alternatively, if I accomplish that, I lose the pliability that SQL offers. For instance, what if I must stumble on at token usage as a operate of session length (how long a user spends modifying a cell)?

By utilizing Foyle, I don’t favor to accomplish a alternative from utilizing a uncomplicated-to-utilize but fixed dashboard and writing flexible but tense-to-seize into yarn SQL queries. With Foyle, I will be succesful to offload the pains of authoring instructions to an AI, thereby gaining flexibility and ease of utilize. This creates an AI flywheel.

Strive it out!To get began utilizing Foyle to simplify operations, test with https://foyle.io/doctors/getting-began/ and apply the instructions to set up Foyle and Runme for your machine. Whilst you glean gotten questions, please reach out @jeremylewi or originate a topic in GitHub.
