Productionize LLM RAG App in Django — Part I: Celery | by Wen Yang | Apr, 2024

Automate Pinecone Every day Upsert Job with Celery and Slack monitoring

It’s been some time since my final LLM submit and I’m excited to share that my prototype has been efficiently productionized as Exterior’s first LLM-powered chatbot, Scout. If you’re an Exterior+ member, you’ll be able to test it out over at https://scout.outsideonline.com/.
