Building a Production RAG Pipeline with Hybrid Retrieval and LangChain
Short summary
Production RAG systems require three key improvements: hybrid retrieval combining multiple search methods, reranking for result quality, and comprehensive metrics tracking. This moves beyond basic tutorials to address real deployment challenges.
- •Basic RAG only gets 70% of the way to production-ready systems
- •Hybrid retrieval and rerankers fix common failure modes
- •Measurement and monitoring are critical for reliability
