P.47Feature flags let you ship AI features to a small slice of users first, watch for quality problems, and kill the feature in under a minute if something breaks.
P.48Getting valid, schema-conforming JSON from an LLM takes more than a JSON mode flag. Here is what works in production, from native APIs to instructor.
P.49Most AI project failures start at scoping: nobody defines what 'AI integration' means before a price is quoted. Here's how to scope AI projects properly.
P.50Every AI budget starts with API costs and ends in surprises. What production AI features really cost once evaluation, observability and prompt rot are counted.
