It's easy to build an AI proof-of-concept (POC), but how do you turn that into a real production-ready application?
What are the best practices when implementing:
- Retrieval augmented generation (RAG)
- Authorization (row level security)
- Embedding generation (open source models)
- pgvector indexes
- Similarity calculations
- REST APIs
- File storage

What Is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)? | Google Cloud
RAGs operate with a few main steps to help enhance generative AI outputs:
- Retrieval and Pre-processing: RAGs leverage powerful search algorithms to query external data, such as web pages, knowledge bases, and databases. Once retrieved, the relevant information undergoes pre-processing, including tokenization, stemming, and removal of stop words.
- Generation: The pre-processed retrieved information is then seamlessly incorporated into the pre-trained LLM. This integration enhances the LLM's context, providing it with a more comprehensive understanding of the topic. This augmented context enables the LLM to generate more precise, informative, and engaging responses.
RAG operates by first retrieving relevant information from a database using a query generated by the LLM. This retrieved information is then integrated into the LLM's query input, enabling it to generate more accurate and contextually relevant text. RAG leverages vector databases, which store data in a way that facilitates efficient search and retrieval.
