Architecture

Enterprise RAG architecture

Production-grade RAG requires much more than a vector database. Seven layers, each observable and secure.

FAQ

Common RAG questions

Which vector database should we choose?
It depends on volume, ops maturity, and whether you're already on Postgres. We benchmark against your data and recommend the lowest-friction option — often PGVector for Postgres shops, Qdrant for self-hosted performance, or Pinecone for fully-managed speed.
Can RAG work with SharePoint?
Yes. We connect to SharePoint, sync incrementally, and inherit its permissions so users only retrieve what they're allowed to see.
Can RAG work with Confluence?
Yes — Confluence is one of the most common sources. We index spaces and pages with their access controls intact.
Can RAG access databases?
Yes. Beyond documents, we retrieve from relational databases, APIs, and runbooks, fusing structured and unstructured sources into one answer.
Can RAG respect user permissions?
Yes. We index permissions alongside content and filter retrieval per user at query time. Most enterprise rollouts require this from day one.
How do you prevent hallucinations?
Grounded generation with citations, groundedness scoring, retrieval evals on golden datasets, and human review gates where stakes are high — measured continuously, not assumed.
Can RAG work on-premise?
Yes. The same containers run in your VPC, on dedicated tenancy, or fully on-prem with self-hosted models when zero data egress is required.
How long does implementation take?
A vertical-slice MVP typically ships within a few weeks; production hardening and rollout follow. The knowledge audit in week one sets the precise timeline.
How much data can be indexed?
Millions of documents. We size the vector store and pipeline to your corpus and growth, with incremental indexing so freshness keeps up.
Do you support multilingual knowledge?
Yes. Multilingual embeddings and retrieval let users query in their language against content in another.
