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.

Nowadays many web applications are Single Page Apps that connect to an API via HTTP (for example REST or GraphQL). When you develop such an application, you do not only have to run a local development server, but also an API where it connects to. The API could be running on a dev cluster, but you can also run it locally on a different port for example.

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.

But, we also know that experimentation alone doesn’t yield business value. Organizations need to usher their ML models out of the lab (i.e., the proof-of-concept phase) and into deployment, which is otherwise known as being “in production”. .

I really didn’t have an understanding of that so I asked, “Is that too many or not enough?” It was obvious that he’d never considered the question, as a look of shock came over his face.
