I decided to give it a try and write a simple RAG-based documentation-to-chatbot procedure as an example for reviewing the procedure and hopefully providing a quick and interesting way of learning RAG.

This post walks you through the development of a RAG system from developing a vector database to creating a simple application built on Ollama, Milvus, and Streamlit.

See the post here: https://masoudmim.github.io/blog/2025/rag-system/

Building a chat application over your own data often involves RAG and a vector database. Vector databases store and allow efficient searching of data embeddings. #VectorDatabase #ChatWithData

A recent study suggests that stressful topics reduce the effectiveness of LLMs, also I'm experimenting with vector databases

Postgres is actually all you need. No need to build a complex setup of different databases.

I use postgres for all data storage requirements. I've been using it as a vector store too. It's been holding up very nicely.

Took a little step outside the comfort zone today and published a blog post in Python.

Here's several ways you can create vector embeddings for all your RAG needs in Python: https://www.datastax.com/blog/how-to-create-vector-embeddings-in-python

I'm interested in knowing whether a #VectorDatabase can actually provide a better search index than #solr or other standard search solutions. It is hard to get a good feel for how revolutionary the backend of #AI tools are, separate from the chatty parrot front end interfaces that people are so enamored with.
