PostgreSQL Query Rewriting Techniques The previous articles in this series covered performance problems you fix by adding indexes, restructuring joins, or tuning memory. This one is about the queries where the plan is "fine" — every node is doing something reasonable — but the query itself is asking the wrong question, producing unnecessarily large intermediate results or forcing the planner dow
We’ve been running a series of experiments using ChatGPT 5.4 integrated into a website chatbot across different environments: 🌐 a main website 🎯 Goal: simulate realistic user behavior and observe how the model responds over time. ⚙️ Test setup The chatbot is designed to (no self promo here, just context): 📌 answer strictly based on website content (RAG-like approach) Over time, we intentionally
SQL is widely known for data querying and manipulation but systems do grow; data becomes larger; processes become repetitive and operations become sensitive. SQL has some features which enables it to be considered a fully fledged programming language. Some of the features which I discuss in this article are procedures, functions and transactions. Each of these concepts serve distinct purposes. Sto
Hi 👋, In this post we shall explore Bedrock's structured KB with this architecture: Upload CSVs to S3 > SNS Queue > Crawl data with Glue > Query with Redshift > Bedrock KB > Query with LLM. Let's do some of this with code. Let's get started. Clone the repo and switch to the project directory. git clone [email protected]:networkandcode/networkandcode.github.io.git cd structured-kb-demo/ Do a uv sync
How I added LLM fallback to my OpenAI app in 10 minutes You're running a production app on OpenAI. One Tuesday morning it goes down. Your app returns 500s. You spend an hour refreshing status.openai.com. There's a better setup. Here's how to add provider fallback to any OpenAI-SDK app without rewriting anything. When you call OpenAI directly, you have one point of failure: from openai import Ope
Subqueries vs. CTEs in SQL: A Practical Guide to Writing Cleaner, Smarter Queries Whether you're just getting comfortable with SQL or leveling up your data skills, two tools will come up again and again when working with complex queries: subqueries and Common Table Expressions (CTEs). They solve similar problems — breaking a complex query into manageable pieces — but they do it in different ways
OpenAI revenue is still the number people reach for when they want a leaderboard. But the cleaner frame is different: Anthropic appears to be building a different kind of AI business, one centered on enterprise customers, safety positioning, and less dependence on mass-market fame. That distinction matters because public discussion keeps collapsing three separate things into one scorecard: revenue
LLM Foundry: the boring stack that makes an LLM actually useful Most AI projects are built backwards. People start with the model and only later discover they needed a memory system, semantic retrieval, tool use, tests, and a fallback plan for when one provider decides to nap for no visible reason. That is the part I care about now. LLM Foundry is the workshop around an LLM — not the model itsel
