Extract reliable structured data from LLMs using JSON mode, Zod validation, and intelligent retry logic to eliminate parsing failures and hallucinations.
Master LLM token economics by implementing token counting, setting budgets, and optimizing costs across your AI infrastructure with tiktoken and practical middleware patterns.
Master load balancer algorithms for distributing traffic. Learn round-robin limitations, connection-aware routing, consistent hashing, and session affinity patterns.
