What is HTML?
This type of server stores, retrieves, and manages application data.
What is a database server?
This cloud computing model lets you rent virtual servers by the hour.
What is IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)?
This branch of AI focuses on enabling computers to learn patterns from data.
What is machine learning?
This old-school mainframe language still powers many insurance core systems.
What is COBOL?
This style language controls layout, spacing, and colors in modern web apps.
What is CSS?
This scripting language is the backbone of back ends built with Node.js.
What is JavaScript?
This tool automates provisioning of cloud resources using configuration files.
What is Terraform?
This type of model processes sequential data one token at a time, like GPT does.
What is a transformer?
This flat, hierarchical data storage format is common in older mainframe environments.
What are VSAM files?
This JavaScript library, created by Meta, uses components to build UI efficiently.
What is React?
This pattern separates an app into data, logic, and presentation layers.
What is MVC (Model–View–Controller)?
This container orchestration platform automatically schedules and scales workloads.
What is Kubernetes?
This metric evaluates classification models by balancing precision and recall.

What is high availability (HA)?
This training technique uses human-rated comparisons to improve model behavior.
What is RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback)?
This type of architecture describes systems where business logic, UI, and data access are tightly intertwined.
What is a monolith?
This architecture sends only JSON and re-renders on the client, powering many SPA frameworks.
What is client-side rendering (CSR)?
This technique isolates chunks of code so multiple versions can run independently while deployed live.
What is microservices (or canary deployment)?
This model uses two or more environments running in parallel (often blue & green) to enable safe deployments.
What is blue-green deployment?
This type of system lets multiple models work together, often with tools, memory, and reasoning loops.
What is an agentic AI system?
This painful-but-common process rewrites an entire system from scratch while preserving original business behavior.
What is a full system rewrite / modernization?
