And always monitor cost, performance and quality.
Wait, there’s more…
99.999% of your patterns, reference architectures/implementations and best practices will need to evolve over the next couple of years.
Why?
- The technology is simply too young to lock into.
- Platforms will evolve to incorporate many of the customizations and integrations initially required to be built by your team (remember: replaceable, not reusable).
- Security will continually evolve and mature requiring updates along the way.
- Others will build upon the basics to offer even greater capabilities (e.g., look at what LangChain and AutoGen have done for genAl).
When you get into a rhythm of embracing emerging, bleeding-edge technology, there’s only one thing left to say:
One of the most rewarding things about working in technology is the surprise advancements that take the industry by storm.
