📖 “Building your own RAG system is like deciding to build your own email server in 2024. Sure, you could do it.

🎡 Don’t reinvent the wheel! The trap of building something, which on the first glance looks so simple, but then we you get into it you discover layers of hidden complexity.

📝 RAG is powerful and the go-to-architecture style for many GenAI based applications today for good reasons.If you are on the hunt for a a good foundation to build your RAG-based application on, I can highly suggest to have a look at Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases or Amazon Q Business - really depends on your requirements. How many dials do you need?

🤿 If you want to dive deeper - have a look into this year’s re:invent sessions:

• AWS re:Invent 2024 - “Build scalable RAG applications using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases (AIM305)”: https://lnkd.in/ee9D3dEA

• AWS re:Invent 2024 - “What’s new with Amazon Q Business (AIM237)”: https://lnkd.in/epkWezBT

👷‍♀️ Just to give you a starting point. What are you going to build?
