Key Components

Iterations

1. Start Simple

2. Enhance Context

3. Implement Guardrails

4. Add Routing and Gateway

5. Optimise with Caching

6. Enable Agent Patterns

Gradual Implementation: Don't try to implement everything at once. This step-by-step approach allows you to validate each component before adding the next layer of complexity.

Trade-offs: Each step introduces trade-offs between reliability, latency, cost, and complexity. Consider your specific needs when deciding which components to implement.

Security: Steps 3 and 6 are particularly important for security. Guardrails and careful agent implementation are essential for production systems.
