by Richard Cool Netflix has over 139M members streaming on more than half a billion devices spanning over 1,700 different types of devices from hundreds of brands. This diverse device ecosystem results in a high dimensionality feature space, often with sparse data, and can make identifying device performance issues challenging. Identifying ways to scale solutions in this space is vital as the ecosystem continues to grow both in volume and diversity.

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.

01 Feb 2019. James Shore/Blog. If you're using test-driven development, don't measure unit test code coverage. It's worse than a useless statistic; it will actively lead you astray. What should you do instead? That depends on what you want to accomplish. To improve code and test practices. If you're trying to improve your team's coding and testing practices, perform root-cause analysis 1 of escaped defects, then improve your design and process to prevent that sort of defect from happening again.

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.
