Production RAG Systems: A Reliability Checklist
Most RAG systems work in demos and fail in production. Use this checklist to harden retrieval, chunking, evaluation, freshness, and guardrails before users feel the gaps.
We share everything we learn — real use cases, real production lessons. Technical deep-dives on MLOps, model deployment, AI reliability, and more.

Most RAG systems work in demos and fail in production. Use this checklist to harden retrieval, chunking, evaluation, freshness, and guardrails before users feel the gaps.
Most ML models that work in notebooks break in production. Learn the top reasons for production ML failures — model drift, infrastructure gaps, and monitoring blind spots — and how to fix them.
A practical guide to AI observability for production systems — including latency, drift, token usage, retrieval quality, and the dashboards teams actually use during incidents.
A practical guide to rolling out ML models safely in production using shadow traffic, canary promotion, quality gates, and fast rollback paths.
How to build practical incident response runbooks for production AI systems, including triage flows for latency spikes, drift, bad outputs, and model-serving failures.
How to design an LLM gateway for production use cases, including multi-model routing, guardrails, quotas, usage logging, and cost-aware fallbacks.
Why feature freshness failures are so damaging in production ML, and how to detect, contain, and prevent stale features before model quality drifts in silence.
