# Best Practices
## Best Practices
1. **Use normalized embeddings** - Set `normalize_embeddings=True`
2. **Force CPU mode** - Set `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=""` for stability
3. **Add SQLite timeout** - Use `timeout=30` for concurrent access
4. **Process in batches** - 100-500 chunks per batch
5. **Track progress** - Save after each batch for resumability
6. **Log errors** - Capture failures for debugging
