Introduction Autonomous agents—software entities that perceive, reason, and act without direct human supervision—are becoming the backbone of modern AI‑powered products. From conversational assistants that handle thousands of simultaneous chats to trading bots that react to market micro‑seconds, these agents must process high‑velocity data, generate embeddings, make decisions, and persist outcomes in real time. Traditional monolithic architectures quickly hit scalability limits. The solution lies in distributed streaming pipelines that can ingest, transform, and route events at scale, combined with real‑time vector processing to perform similarity search, clustering, and retrieval on the fly. ...

While the classic RAG workflow—index a static corpus, retrieve relevant passages, feed them to an LLM—works well for batch or “search‑and‑answer” scenarios, many modern applications demand real‑time, sub‑second responses. Think of live customer‑support agents, financial tick‑data analysis, or interactive code assistants that must react instantly to user input. ...

Introduction Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the de‑facto paradigm for building large‑language‑model (LLM) applications that need up‑to‑date, factual knowledge. In a RAG pipeline, a vector database stores dense embeddings of documents, code snippets, or multimodal artifacts. At inference time the system performs a nearest‑neighbor search to retrieve the most relevant pieces of information, which are then fed to the LLM prompt. While a single‑node vector store can handle toy examples, production‑grade RAG services must satisfy: ...
