## Visual Explainers

### [How Android Apps Handle Real-Time Local Processing](https://yomu.fyi/visual-explainers/how-android-apps-handle-real-time-local-processing.md)
- Type: How it works
- Tags: [Accessibility](https://yomu.fyi/topic/accessibility.md), [Android](https://yomu.fyi/topic/android.md), [Architecture](https://yomu.fyi/topic/architecture.md), [Hyper](https://yomu.fyi/topic/hyper.md), [Observability](https://yomu.fyi/topic/observability.md)

Android's on-device machine learning stack lets apps run inference, image recognition, and text processing locally without sending data to servers, reducing latency and protecting privacy.

### [AML Detection: From Transaction to Intelligence](https://yomu.fyi/visual-explainers/aml-detection-from-transaction-to-intelligence.md)
- Type: How it works
- Tags: [AML](https://yomu.fyi/topic/aml.md), [Compliance](https://yomu.fyi/topic/compliance.md), [Data Engineering](https://yomu.fyi/topic/data-engineering.md), [Data Governance](https://yomu.fyi/topic/data-governance.md), [MLOps](https://yomu.fyi/topic/mlops.md)

AML systems detect financial crime by unifying fragmented data sources, applying machine-learning models, and routing suspicious activity through analyst review—turning raw transactions into actionable cases.

### [How Alpine Linux Reduces Container Size](https://yomu.fyi/visual-explainers/how-alpine-linux-reduces-container-size.md)
- Type: How it works
- Tags: [Alpine Linux](https://yomu.fyi/topic/alpine-linux.md), [Architecture](https://yomu.fyi/topic/architecture.md), [Deployment](https://yomu.fyi/topic/deployment.md), [Docker](https://yomu.fyi/topic/docker.md), [Linux](https://yomu.fyi/topic/linux.md)

Alpine Linux shrinks container images by replacing glibc with musl and using a minimal base, but introduces compatibility trade-offs you must evaluate before switching.

### [How Airflow Orchestrates Data Pipelines](https://yomu.fyi/visual-explainers/how-airflow-orchestrates-data-pipelines.md)
- Type: How it works
- Tags: [Airflow](https://yomu.fyi/topic/airflow.md), [CI/CD](https://yomu.fyi/topic/ci-cd.md), [Data Engineering](https://yomu.fyi/topic/data-engineering.md), [Data Pipelines](https://yomu.fyi/topic/data-pipelines.md), [Monitoring](https://yomu.fyi/topic/monitoring.md)

Airflow is a workflow orchestration platform that schedules, monitors, and manages data pipelines by defining tasks as code, executing them in dependency order, and tracking their success or failure.

### [AI Town: Building Interactive Agent Simulations](https://yomu.fyi/visual-explainers/ai-town-building-interactive-agent-simulations.md)
- Type: How it works
- Tags: [AI](https://yomu.fyi/topic/ai.md), [AI Agents](https://yomu.fyi/topic/ai-agents.md), [AI Town](https://yomu.fyi/topic/ai-town.md), [Architecture](https://yomu.fyi/topic/architecture.md), [Generative AI](https://yomu.fyi/topic/generative-ai.md)

AI Town is a pixel-art simulation framework where autonomous agents maintain memories, relationships, and goals across time, creating observable environments for testing how models behave in long-context interactive settings.

### [Kafka vs Temporal: When to Use Each, and When to Use Both](https://yomu.fyi/visual-explainers/kafka-vs-temporal-when-to-use-each-and-when-to-use-both.md)
- Type: How it works
- Tags: [Data Engineering](https://yomu.fyi/topic/data-engineering.md), [Data Pipelines](https://yomu.fyi/topic/data-pipelines.md), [Distributed Systems](https://yomu.fyi/topic/distributed-systems.md), [Kafka](https://yomu.fyi/topic/kafka.md), [Temporal](https://yomu.fyi/topic/temporal.md)

Kafka is a durable event stream; Temporal is a workflow orchestrator. Learn which solves your problem and why many teams use them together.

### [How AI Agent Observability Works: From Execution to Insight](https://yomu.fyi/visual-explainers/how-ai-agent-observability-works-from-execution-to-insight.md)
- Type: How it works
- Tags: [AgentOps](https://yomu.fyi/topic/agentops.md), [AI Agents](https://yomu.fyi/topic/ai-agents.md), [AI Governance](https://yomu.fyi/topic/ai-governance.md), [Architecture](https://yomu.fyi/topic/architecture.md), [Observability](https://yomu.fyi/topic/observability.md)

AgentOps is the operational discipline of building, deploying, and monitoring production AI agents. Learn how tracing, evaluation, and governance turn raw agent behavior into reliable, cost-controlled systems.

### [How Aerospike Handles High-Speed Counters](https://yomu.fyi/visual-explainers/how-aerospike-handles-high-speed-counters.md)
- Type: How it works
- Tags: [Aerospike](https://yomu.fyi/topic/aerospike.md), [Architecture](https://yomu.fyi/topic/architecture.md), [Caching](https://yomu.fyi/topic/caching.md), [Databases](https://yomu.fyi/topic/databases.md), [Distributed Systems](https://yomu.fyi/topic/distributed-systems.md)

Aerospike is an in-memory database optimized for real-time counters and fraud detection at extreme scale. Learn how it replaces wide-column stores and cuts latency and cost.
