RAG-only architectures

What it means

What is RAG-only architectures?

RAG-only architectures are systems built entirely around retrieval-augmented generation, where AI models answer questions by first searching through external documents or databases rather than relying solely on their training data.

Why it matters

As enterprises deploy RAG systems for production use, understanding how to architect, secure, and optimize them end-to-end is becoming a critical practical skill rather than just a theoretical concept.
