Guides for local models, AI APIs, RAG, webhooks, secure workflows, privacy and reliable operations.
Connectivity, Docker, GPUs, storage and memory for self-hosted inference.
Check the service, port and API route before changing the model or client application.
Resolve container-to-container access with service DNS and an isolated network.
Check space, inodes, quotas and partial downloads before fetching gigabytes again.
Separate host driver, container toolkit and runtime compatibility.
Tune model size, context and concurrency from measurements rather than hiding an OOM.
Authentication, quotas, streaming, output formats and tool actions.
Check secret loading, project, permissions and endpoint without printing credentials.
Apply per-account limits, queueing and jittered backoff while respecting Retry-After.
Distinguish proxy timeout, SSE parsing errors and normal stream completion.
Validate structured output server-side and handle truncation without executing arbitrary content.
Separate model proposals from authorisation and execution of side-effecting operations.
Defence against injection, secret exposure and untrusted content.
Treat retrieved pages and documents as untrusted data, not as system instructions.
Minimise, redact and classify data before any local or third-party model call.
Render generated text with contextual escaping and an allowlist of URL schemes.
Revoke, remove from history and move credentials to an appropriate secret store.
Vector retrieval, authenticated webhooks and reliable scheduled jobs.
Debug ingestion, versions, chunking and citations before changing model temperature.
Identify the exact model and dimension; avoid mixing vectors from different model families.
Protect triggers with authentication, rate limiting and payload validation.
Prevent duplicate work and concurrent resource use with locks and duration limits.
Capacity, backpressure, fault tolerance and model continuity.
Apply backpressure, per-tenant quotas and overload responses instead of accumulating latency.
Add health checks, deadlines, a circuit breaker and safe degradation.
