Introduction: Document processing is the foundation of any RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system. Before you can search and retrieve relevant information, you need to extract text from various file formats, split it into meaningful chunks, and generate embeddings for vector search. The quality of your document processing pipeline directly impacts retrieval accuracy and ultimately the quality […]

LLM Caching Strategies: From Exact Match to Semantic Similarity
Introduction: LLM API calls are expensive and slow. Caching is your first line of defense against runaway costs and latency. But caching LLM responses isn’t straightforward—the same question phrased differently should return the same cached answer. This guide covers caching strategies for LLM applications: exact match caching for deterministic queries, semantic caching using embeddings for […]
Read more →LLM Memory and Context Management: Building Conversational AI That Remembers
Introduction: LLMs have no inherent memory—each API call is stateless. The model doesn’t remember your previous conversation, your user’s preferences, or the context you established five messages ago. Memory is something you build on top. This guide covers implementing different memory strategies for LLM applications: buffer memory for recent context, summary memory for long conversations, […]

Introduction: Production LLM applications require comprehensive logging and tracing to debug issues, monitor performance, and understand user interactions. Unlike traditional applications, LLM systems have unique logging needs: capturing prompts and responses, tracking token usage, measuring latency across chains, and correlating requests through multi-step workflows. This guide covers practical logging patterns: structured request/response logging, distributed tracing […]
