Store a source checksum to skip unchanged documents
Compare a document’s source checksum, metadata, and ingestion profile before repeating extraction, chunking, embedding, and index writes.
Csharp
Pin culture and time zone in tests that depend on them
Make culture and time zone explicit inputs when parsing, formatting, or local-time conversion depends on them.
Keep tool results inside a token budget
Bound every model-visible tool result before it enters the next prompt.
Your First Qdrant Collection
Run Qdrant locally, connect with the official .NET client, and create a collection whose vector size and distance match the embedding model.
Run production evaluations outside the user response path
Hand production samples to a separate evaluation worker instead of making users wait for an evaluator model.
Attach build identity to operational telemetry
Stamp telemetry with the immutable build that produced it so incidents can be compared across releases and rolling deployments.
Use FrozenDictionary for stable, read-heavy lookup data
Build stable lookup tables once with FrozenDictionary, reuse them across reads, and measure whether lookup savings justify the construction cost.
Return Retry-After when a client should back off
Tell API clients when another attempt may succeed instead of leaving them to guess a retry delay.
Version prompts, models, datasets, and evaluation results together
Keep every evaluation result tied to the exact prompt, model identities, dataset, evaluator, and configuration that produced it.
Choose histogram boundaries from the service objective
Put the latency objective into the histogram boundaries so compliance can be calculated without interpolating between buckets.
