Domino Interface

The whole demo hinged on many factors and required me to bring my demo setup to Ghent which included having a HCL Domino 12.02 server running on Docker on an old Lenovo mini-PC that I had lying around and connecting it to a Mac Mini 4 that was running an LLM. I got it work just one day before I had to fly to Brussels. Talking about cutting it close.

To my horror, I was required to check-in my luggage at the gate. Given how luggage is handled, I was expecting that all my hard work would be for not. But after getting to my hotel, I was relieved to see that everything was still working. I learned a lot and had fun making this demo that includes a sim...

Monoliths offer simplicity at the start but often result in ...
