A look at how to augment LLM results with retrieval augemented generation (RAG) and vector search, directly from BigQuery.

In this post we are going to look at the importance of volume testing. We are going to consider how this type of non-functional test can have a significant impact on your size and scale your production environment based on evidence this test provides.

When embarking on a software development project, a well-structured test plan is essential for ensuring the quality and reliability of the final product. A comprehensive test plan outlines the scope, approach, resources, and schedule for testing activities, serving as a blueprint for the testing process. In this blog post, we will delve into the key elements necessary to create a robust test plan template for software testing.

Two related concepts often come up when data teams work on data governance: data provenance and data lineage. While they may seem similar at first glance, there are fundamental differences between the two concepts. Data provenance covers the origin and history of data, including its creation and modifications. On the other hand, data lineage tracks the data’s journey through various systems and processes, highlighting its flow and transformation across different data pipeline stages.

AI applications that produce human-like text, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, language translation, text generation, and more, are built on top of Large Language Models (LLMs). If you are deploying LLMs in production-grade applications, you might have faced some of the performance challenges with running these models. You might have also considered optimizing your deployment with an LLM inference engine or server.
