While LLMs excel at generating cogent text based on their training data, they may also need to interact with external systems. Function calling allows them to construct such calls. The LLM does not execute these calls directly, instead it creates a data structure that describes the call, passing that to a separate program for execution and further processing. The LLM's prompt includes details abou
Working backwards from the end goal is a core principle of software development, and we’ve found it to be highly effective in modelling data products. In this article we'll explore a step-by-step, methodical approach to identifying data products that avoids overdesign while providing just enough clarity for teams to begin implementation. Starting with a use case, we work backward to define data pr
Decentralized data management requires automation to scale governance effectively. Fitness functions are a powerful automated governance technique we've applied to data products within the context of a Data Mesh. Since data products serve as the foundational building blocks (architectural quanta) of a data mesh, ensuring robust governance around them significantly increases the chances of a succes
