📈 Performance Optimization

Response Time Optimization

Provider selection: Use fastest providers for your region
Model selection: Choose appropriate model size for task
Concurrency: Limit parallel requests to avoid rate limits
Caching: Implement response caching for repeated queries

Cost Optimization

Model selection: Use cost-effective models when possible
Token management: Optimize prompt length and max tokens
Provider comparison: Compare costs across providers
Monitoring: Track usage with analytics

Memory Management

Streaming: Use streaming for large responses
Batch processing: Process multiple requests efficiently
Cleanup: Proper resource cleanup in long-running applications

🔐 Security Best Practices

API Key Management

Environment variables: Store keys in .env files
Never commit: Keep keys out of version control
Rotation: Regularly rotate API keys
Scope limitation: Use least-privilege access

Production Deployment

Secret management: Use secure secret management systems
Network security: Implement proper network controls
Monitoring: Log and monitor API usage
Error handling: Don't expose sensitive errors
