OCI's E5 flexible compute shapes now support finer-grained OCPU/memory ratios, which matters most for memory-bound analytics workloads that previously had to over-provision cores j
Use structure-aware chunking (respecting headings, tables, and document sections) rather than fixed-length character chunking, which materially improves retrieval quality on struct
Design your compartment hierarchy around organizational and workload boundaries before writing a single IAM policy — retrofitting compartment structure after policies exist means r
