Get the deployment target in the first conversation
Whether the system lands in the client's cloud account, a private VPC, or fully on-prem changes nearly every architectural choice. Decide it before writing code.
Assume no egress
Designs that require calling out to third-party services mid-request are the first thing a security team rejects. Build for models and vector stores that can run inside the boundary, then relax if allowed.
- Infrastructure as code the client's team owns
- No outbound calls in the request path
- Secrets managed by the client's existing vault
Hand over runbooks, not just code
The internal team inherits the pager. Deployment runbooks, rollback steps, and eval scripts are part of the deliverable, not a follow-on engagement.
