Article idea: Building IRIS images with Docker Build Mounts
From the docs on Docker Build Mounts:
This is a recent Docker feature allowing users to build compact images (since we no longer need to COPY everything inside). Try it out and write an article about it?
Article idea: InterSystems IRIS CUDA image
There's a way to use GPUs/CUDA from inside the container. Describe how to build an InterSystems IRIS image with CUDA support.

GitHub Codespaces with IRIS by @Dmitry Maslennikov
Only one day left to the end of the contest!
I have just published my third and final Tech Article. This article describes how you can develop a single Interface Code Base and then using Package and Global Mappings generate a multitude of Interfaces that either have date PUSHED into them or PULL data from a Source Application or Database and in my example, transform that data into either HL7 or FHIR messages. I then use HTTP to send the message to a Target Server.
I have attached the article as a PDF which might make it a bit easier to read and I will be releasing the actual software on OEX in the near future.
great! thanks, Nigel
