On Tuesdays I write about the top voted question on Ask Berkun (see the archive ). This week’s question is from Mike: How can you tell a wise person when you meet one? If you can’t judge a book by its cover, how can you judge a person on their first impression? I’ve never liked the cliche about “you never get a second chance…” because it’s rarely true.

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.

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.

Regulatory compliance, like death and taxes, is something that is mandatory and the cost of doing business in the financial services industry. In fact, the only thing that’s guaranteed is that the rate of regulatory change will only continue to increase over time. How banks deal with regulatory compliance is actually changing for the better. With big data platforms, like ones based on open source software, banks can more effectively adapt to and quickly manage the wave of rules coming at them.

I spent six years at a company that went from 50 people to 1500 and one contributing factor leading to my departure was that I went from a “maker” to a person stuck in meetings every day. It wasn’t that I wanted to do that, but everyone else kept dragging me into meetings. There’s about 47 million blog posts about why meetings suck and I’m not going to pile more onto that heap.

Microservices can decrease the risk of experimenting with new technologies and can enable each part of an application to scale at its own pace. Of course, each microservice should be as independent as possible from the other microservices in an ecosystem, ideally only connected by a communications interface. Powering your microservices with technologies that are both versatile and resource lean can help achieve this independence.

Data integration generally requires in-depth domain knowledge, a strong understanding of data schemas and underlying relationships. This can be time-consuming and bit challenging if you are dealing with hundreds of data sources and thousands of event types (see my recent article on ELT architecture ). Various data integration solution providers are trying to capitalize on this gap by offering various machine learning based features to overcome these challenges.
