Hi @rolmovel,
‘In my opinion’, one of the main issues of mordern AI is that solutions at our level are Python based, but Python based apps are in the minority when it comes to cloud/server based applications.
Python was originally just a scripting language, not really a software language that was meant for such large scale deployments.
A practical example: A simple cloud bassed application created is such as Golang; Rust, etc will typically have a Docker container size of 50-100 Mb. The same application in Python would produce a Docker containerr of 100’s of Mb.
Do a Google search for ‘Why is my Python container so large?’. I’ve seen Python apps that resultt in Docker containers of 1 Gb+. While it is possible to deploy such systems, the cost of doing so is far more expensive in terms of resources and cost.
There is a saying : ‘Python is holding AI hostage!’ Having worked in the industry for a long time, I am aware of major investment in terms of man hours to port AI related Python AI functionality to languages such as Go; Rust, Rust being the favoured option.
I could write a book about why Python deployed containers in a kuberneties environment is considered bad practice in part due to the same reasons that I describe above.
I appload your thoughts, but such will not happen at scale while people are using Python for AI applications.
To answer your original question: ‘have you ever seen any online store beeing able to have search capabilities as crew?’, No, but I have seen other ‘server-side’ AI applications do this with e-commerce applications, these server-side AI applications are not created using Python.
Think of it like this: We have all seen how much time it takes to run a crew, and yes, variable dependant on Tasks’, hardwre resources etc. In the ‘real’ world, backend systems have to deal with many thousands of requests a second on an API endpoint. How would your crew deal with that scenario?
Having wrote all of the above, CrewAI does have a cloud based solution, but I’m assuming that’s more of a SAS type thing. Deploying to you rown server-side environment may not be the best commercial choice!
**REM: Just my opinion, but you can easily do your research on this. **REM technology continues to improve.
