RAG-Platform

RAG-Platform is an open-core, self-hostable Pipeline-as-a-Service for documents. It provides a laboratory UI where analysts — without writing code — can combine chunkers, embedding models, rerankers, and LLMs, run experiments against a QA dataset, and compare strategies side-by-side with a fixed composite score per option.

The system ships as a single Helm chart that works identically in local development (kind + Tilt), staging, and production. Multi-tenancy, fine-grained RBAC, eval-loop, and observability are built in from day one — not added later. See opportunity.md for the full product thesis and competitive landscape analysis.

Plugin interfaces (Chunker / Embedder / Retriever / Reranker / Generator) each expose a params_schema (JSON Schema), which drives the form-based pipeline editor in the UI automatically. Every experiment is the Cartesian product of valid plugin configurations run against a user dataset; results land in a leaderboard with per-combination scores. See docs/architecture.md for a component overview, docs/user-workflow.md for the no-code product workflow, and docs/adr/ for architectural decisions.

Quick start

Development (kind + Tilt)

# Prerequisites: Docker Desktop, kind, Tilt, kubectl, helm
git clone https://github.com/lekot/rag-p.git
cd rag-p
tilt up
# UI at http://localhost:3000, API at http://localhost:8000

Production (Helm)

helm repo add rag-p https://lekot.github.io/rag-p
helm install rag-p rag-p/rag-p \
  --namespace rag-p --create-namespace \
  --values your-values.yaml

See charts/rag-p/values.yaml for the full configuration reference.
