In this blog post, we dive into the significance and benefits of RAG applications first. Then we explore the advantages of leveraging CockroachDB, a highly scalable and resilient distributed SQL database, as the foundation for building efficient and robust RAG applications. To illustrate the practical implementation, I’ve created a knowledge base chatbot.

Information today is generated and consumed in unprecedented magnitudes. With every click, swipe, and transaction, massive amounts of data are collected, waiting to be harnessed for insights, decision-making, and innovation. Today, more than 80% of the data that organizations generate is unstructured – and the amount of this data type will only grow in the coming decades.

We are thrilled to introduce Vector Search in the 24.2 release of CockroachDB in preview. Vector Search is essential for enhancing functionalities such as semantic search, recommendation systems, and natural language processing, which are critical for AI-driven applications, including Large Language Models (LLMs).
