Introduction to Scalable AI Workflows

As AI adoption grows within organizations, the need for scalable, maintainable workflows becomes critical. In this post, we'll explore best practices for building production-ready AI workflows using Fastnotry.

The Challenge of Scale

Many teams start with simple, one-off AI implementations. However, as usage grows, they often face:

  • **Inconsistent results** across different team members
  • **Difficulty tracking** which prompts work best
  • **No version control** for prompt iterations
  • **Lack of visibility** into costs and performance
  • Designing for Scale

    Here's our recommended approach for building scalable AI workflows:

    1. Centralize Your Prompts

    Store all prompts in a central repository. This ensures consistency and makes it easy to update prompts across all applications.

    import { Fastnotry } from '@fastnotry/sdk';

    const client = new Fastnotry({

    apiKey: 'your-api-key-here',

    });

    const prompt = await client.prompts.get('customer-support-v2');

    2. Implement Version Control

    Track changes to your prompts over time. This allows you to:

  • Roll back to previous versions if needed
  • A/B test different prompt variations
  • Maintain an audit trail of changes
  • 3. Monitor and Measure

    Set up monitoring for key metrics:

  • Response quality scores
  • Execution latency
  • Token usage and costs
  • Error rates
  • 4. Implement Caching

    Cache frequently used responses to reduce costs and improve latency:

    const response = await client.execute({

    promptId: 'product-description',

    variables: { productName: 'Widget Pro' },

    cache: {

    enabled: true,

    ttl: 3600, // 1 hour

    },

    });

    Real-World Example

    Let's look at how a customer support team might implement a scalable workflow:

    1. **Intake**: Customer messages are received via API

    2. **Classification**: Fastnotry classifies the intent

    3. **Routing**: Messages are routed to appropriate handlers

    4. **Response**: AI generates contextual responses

    5. **Review**: Human review for edge cases

    This workflow handles over 10,000 requests per hour while maintaining 98% accuracy.

    Conclusion

    Building scalable AI workflows requires careful planning and the right tools. Fastnotry provides the infrastructure you need to move from experimentation to production with confidence.
