Production RAG Architecture
A complete engineering guide to building reliable Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems in production. This series covers RAG architecture, document processing, chunking strategies, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking, scaling, evaluation, and real-world production challenges.
Building a Production RAG Pipeline: Document Processing, Chunking, and Metadata Design
In the first article, we explored why many RAG systems fail in production and established a key principle: retrieval quality determines answer quality. We also introduced the architecture behind produ

Beyond Vector Search: Building Better RAG Retrieval with Hybrid Search and Reranking
The first two parts of this series covered why production RAG systems fail and how the quality of the data foundation directly affects everything that comes after it. We looked at document ingestion,
