New Workshop: Introduction to RAG in Production

Posted on July 16, 2025

I’m excited to announce my new workshop: Introduction to RAG in Production - a comprehensive hands-on session designed for teams looking to implement robust RAG systems in real-world environments.

What You’ll Learn

Foundation & Architecture

  • Introduction to GenAI and LLMs - Understanding the landscape and capabilities
  • LLM Application Architectures - Design patterns for scalable systems
  • Embeddings Overview - What are embeddings and how they power semantic search
  • Vector Database Comparison - Choosing the right storage solution
  • Data Exploration Fundamentals - Analyzing and understanding your data for RAG

Production RAG Pipeline

We’ll build a complete RAG system covering every critical step:

  1. Document Preprocessing - Text extraction, chunking strategies, and optimization
  2. Data Ingestion - Efficient embedding generation and storage
  3. Querying & Search - Semantic retrieval and relevance scoring
  4. Document Post-processing - Context ranking and filtering
  5. Answer Generation - Prompt engineering and response optimization
  6. Evaluation - Metrics, testing frameworks, and quality assurance
  7. Production Challenges - Scaling, monitoring, and maintenance

Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Engineering teams implementing RAG systems
  • Data scientists exploring production deployment
  • Product managers overseeing AI initiatives
  • CTOs evaluating RAG solutions

Format

Interactive 3-hour workshop combining theory with practical implementation.
