LLM costs at scale are a product design problem
After quantisation, KV caching, and model cascade, most teams find the bill is still too high. The reason: the biggest cost drivers for most LLM features are product decisions, not infrastructure ones.

The DPDP Rules 2025 specify six engineering obligations for Indian SaaS products. Here is what consent, erasure, security safeguards, and the rights API look like in code, with a priority order for compliance.
Between 2021 and 2024, three major open-source projects changed their licences to fight cloud providers. Two reversed within two years. The record tells a clear story about what actually works.
The standard advice for fixing a B2B freemium tier — smaller limits, better upgrade triggers, smarter segmentation — treats execution as the root cause. It isn't. Here are three structural reasons why.
A unique constraint stops the check-before-insert race but leaves concurrent in-flight requests undefined. Here is the state machine pattern — with Postgres code — that handles all six failure modes.
India has five DPI layers: Aadhaar, UPI, ONDC, Account Aggregator, and OCEN. Each is governed separately, has its own API surface, and has a different adoption curve. Here is what each one does in 2026.
Most teams building on LLM APIs conflate function calling, tool use, and structured outputs. They look similar but work differently. Here is what each mechanism actually does and why picking wrong compounds at scale.
Your eSign audit trail proves who signed and when. India's BSA 2023 requires a Section 63 certificate before that record is admissible as evidence — and your eSign platform can't issue it for you.
Aadhaar eSign authenticates the individual, not the company. For B2B vendor contracts, this distinction matters more than most teams realise. Here is the gap and how to close it.
The vendor docs tell you how to configure webhooks. They don’t tell you about the five failure modes that surface in production eSign integrations. Here is what actually breaks and how to fix it.
Switching eSign vendors is easier than expected. Here's what actually changes when you move from DocuSign to FlowVerify: template recreation, webhook remapping, and the Aadhaar eSign gains along the way.
UIDAI downtime breaks Aadhaar eSign flows unless you have designed for it. Three fallback patterns: async queue, DSC drop-in, and consent capture, with what each means for audit trails and IT Act validity.
