About this topic

These articles describe how BluePi works and the market it works in: forward-deployed engineering, the first 90 days of a use case, and the operating realities of Indian mid-market businesses adopting data and AI systems.

They are useful before an engagement, when a team is deciding what a first use case should be and what a credible delivery partner should be expected to do.

03

How client and delivery teams share ownership

Published 2026-09-13 · 7 min read

A written split keeps delivery honest: the client owns decisions, data, and operations; the delivery team owns engineering, verification, and transfer.

04

What a production handover should contain

Published 2026-09-12 · 7 min read

A handover checklist in three bundles: decisions, operating equipment, and open risks. The transfer is complete when the receiving team closes an incident alone.

05

Defining a baseline and target for a first deployment

Published 2026-09-11 · 7 min read

Measure the current process, set a target with a period, and agree acceptance rules in writing before build starts. Three anti-patterns to avoid.

06

How to select the first production workflow

Published 2026-09-10 · 7 min read

Score candidate workflows on decision frequency, data readiness, ownership, blast radius, and measurable result before a single build hour is spent.

07

What is forward-deployed engineering and when should you use it?

Published 2026-09-04 · 7 min read

Forward-deployed engineering puts a small team inside one operating problem from framing through production release and ownership transfer.

08

Cloud Run GPUs: serve a model without running a cluster

Published 2025-10-27 · 6 min read

Cloud Run GPU services give NVIDIA L4 acceleration with scale-to-zero billing. Configuration limits, the instance-based cost model, and when serverless GPUs beat a cluster.

09

Star and snowflake schemas: choose the model from the analytical use

Published 2025-03-17 · 9 min read

Compare star and snowflake dimensional schemas by usability, governance, change, performance, and operating cost.

A practical digital-systems agenda for India's mid-market

Published 2025-03-17 · 9 min read

Digitization drives India's economic growth by lowering the cost of transacting, verifying, and distributing. Aadhaar and UPI compressed identity and payment friction, GST formalized reporting, and cheap data moved first-time users onto digital rails. For mid-market firms the practical effect is operational: demand signals, logistics, and payments now arrive as data, so value comes from systems that act on that data.
