Java 21 Quarkus AWS Lambda: My Production Serverless Stack

Amrendra N Mishra — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 05:58:25 +0000

The Problem With Cloud AI

Every token costs money. Every API call adds up. And your data goes to their servers.

The Local Alternative

brew install ollama
ollama pull llama3.2
ollama serve

Now you have a GPT-4 level model running on your MacBook. Free. Private. Fast.

Real Code Example

import requests

def ask_local_ai(question):
    r = requests.post(
        "http://localhost:11434/api/generate",
        json={"model": "llama3.2", "prompt": question, "stream": False}
    )
    return r.json()["response"]

# Works immediately, no API key needed
answer = ask_local_ai("Explain Docker in one paragraph")
print(answer)

Available Models

Model	Size	Best For
llama3.2	2GB	General use
codellama	4GB	Code tasks
mistral	4.4GB	Fast reasoning
phi3	2.2GB	Lightweight tasks
gemma2	5.4GB	Complex reasoning

What You Can Build

RAG systems for your documents
Voice assistants that work offline
Code reviewers on every git commit
Content generators at zero cost
Personal AI that remembers you

My Setup

I built 45 tools using this stack. All free. All local. All open source.

Why Automate Content Creation

Creating content manually for 9 channels would take 8+ hours daily. I have a full-time job as VP at JPMorgan. The math doesnt work.
