Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

I talked about orthogonality in design in one of my earlier posts. We had a class Address in Scala and we saw how we can combine it with other orthogonal concerns without polluting the core abstraction. We could do this because Scala offers a host of capabilities to compose smaller abstractions and build larger wholes out of them. A language is orthogonal when it allows such capabilities of composition without overlaps in functionalities between the composing featuresets.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Dependency Injection is one of the techniques that I use regularly when I am programming in Java. It's a nice way of making an application decoupled from concrete implementations and localize object creation logic within specific bootstrapping modules. Be it in the form of Spring XML or Guice Modules, the idea is to keep it configurable so that specific components of your application can choose to work with specific implementations of an abstraction.

A DSL primarily has two components - a semantic model that abstracts the underlying domain and a linguistic abstraction on top that speaks the dialect of the user. The semantic model is the model of the domain where you can apply all the principles of DDD that Eric Evans espouses. And the linguistic abstraction is a thin veneer on top of the underlying model.
