Architecting Real‑Time RAG Pipelines with Vector Database Sharding and Serverless Rust Workers

Introduction Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the de‑facto pattern for building intelligent applications that combine the creativity of large language models (LLMs) with the precision of external knowledge sources. While the classic RAG loop—query → retrieve → augment → generate—works well for batch or low‑latency use‑cases, many modern products demand real‑time responses at sub‑second latency, massive concurrency, and the ability to evolve the knowledge base continuously. Achieving this level of performance forces architects to rethink three core components: ...
