Building a RAG application from Central Africa means learning to dance with network instability.💻
For my first app, data ingestion into the vector database was a trial by fire. With frequent drops and high latency, a single-shot upload was out of the question.
My solution?
I built a resilient ingestion script:
✅ Batching: Breaking data into manageable chunks.
✅ Checkpoints: Automatic progress tracking.
✅ Retry Logic: 60 automatic retries to survive connection drops.
After 3 days of perseverance, my app is live! Tech isn't just about code; it's about building systems that withstand real-world constraints.
