"I recently realized something while building Podscan, my podcast database system that does a lot of background data extraction and analysis for my users. I've stumbled upon a couple of AI integration best practices that a lot of people might not be fully aware of. So today, I want to dive into the concepts I found not just useful, but essential for maintaining and operating mission-critical data handling with LLMs and AI platforms."
"Wherever I use an AI call-be that to a local model or a cloud model on OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, wherever it might be-I always have a migration pattern implemented in the code. I extract all of my API calls into services. These services internally handle all the connection, all the prompt massaging and prompt construction, in addition to the specific prompt I want for each API call. And these services always operate on what I call a state of permanent migratability."
Podscan is a podcast database system that performs background data extraction and analysis for users. A migration pattern centralizes all AI API calls into services that handle connections, prompt massaging, prompt construction, and the specific prompts for each call. Services maintain a state of permanent migratability, allowing use of the latest models or previous prompt-version combinations. The pattern supports both local models and cloud providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini. Encapsulating AI interactions in services enables smoother upgrades between models (for example, moving from GPT-4.1 to GPT-5) and increases reliability for mission-critical data handling.
