Best Practices

  • Implement proper indexing for efficient retrieval of chat history
  • Store sensitive credentials securely using environment variables
  • Implement connection pooling for better performance
  • Consider implementing a retention policy for old conversations
  • Implement proper error handling for database connections
  • Use prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks
  • Create regular backups of your conversation database
  • Consider using SSL/TLS for secure database connections
  • Implement proper transaction management for data integrity
