Data Infrastructure for Production AI
Practical writing on AI data engineering, feature stores, and the infrastructure choices that determine whether AI systems work in production.
Vector database capacity planning fails in predictable ways. Teams estimate storage based on vector count alone and discover at 60% capacity that memory consumption is growing faster than disk because
Agentic AI — systems where language models plan, execute multi-step tasks, and use tools autonomously — is the dominant topic at every AI conference, vendor pitch, and engineering blog. The hype is in
Your fourth grader solves 47 times 63 by writing 47 times 3 equals 141, then 47 times 60 equals 2820, then adding them to get 2961. She shows the steps not because the teacher asked, but because split
Every AI agent system eventually faces the same problem. You have built a capable language model. You want it to interact with your tools, your data, your APIs. So you write a custom integration layer
Data quality failures are expensive and silent. A broken pipeline does not crash — it produces wrong data that flows into dashboards, models, and decisions. The error is discovered weeks later when a
A hospital system with twelve facilities and 14,000 clinical staff wanted to use large language models to assist with clinical documentation. Physicians spent an average of two hours per day on docume
Google's 2015 paper "Hidden Technical Debt in Machine Learning Systems" described a problem that has only gotten worse in the decade since. The paper's central observation was that the model itself is
AI systems fail differently than traditional software. A traditional software bug produces incorrect output deterministically -- the same input always produces the same wrong output, and a fix elimina
The majority of enterprise AI strategies are built on an implicit assumption: that the organization's data is ready to support AI workloads. The assumption is almost always wrong. Data that is adequat
