Preferred way of using arize phoenix

[abhinabamitra]

Hi, I was just wondering what is the recommended way of using Arize Phoenix to fetch prompts from the server.

Like Arize Phoenix gives support for REST APIs and GraphQL APIs to fetch the prompts but also provides a phoenix client sdk which is mentioned in the docs to achieve the same. Is there any performance impact between the two? Which one is recommended to use?

Hey! For overall ease of use & fetching prompts, the Phoenix Client SDK is the recommended approach.

Performance impact will vary depending on the use case—what specific concerns were you considering?

If you're frequently fetching prompts and concerned about network overhead, the Python Client SDK is likely the best option. It's still probably best to do some benchmarking. For the SDK - the team is also working on implementing safeguards for caching so that's a performance enhancement coming your way.
