• Convert learner inputs to prompt-ready requests
• Manage fallbacks, API retries, latency, and rate limits

D. DevOps and Infrastructure

• Use Docker and Bitbucket Pipelines for CI/CD
• Deploy on Google Cloud (Firebase Hosting, Cloud Run, Compute Engine)
• Ensure platform stability, uptime, and deployment hygiene
