Validate activity before betting a new project on myscale-telemetry. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between generative-ai-for-beginners and myscale-telemetry? generative-ai-for-beginners: 21 Lessons for Getting Started with Generative AI. myscale-telemetry: Open-source observability for your LLM application..
