Interesting. Can you talk a bit about how the process is faster/better optimized for the dev teams? Sounds like there's a big potential to accelerate time to MVP.
R2R is built around RESTful API and is dockerized, so devs can get started on app development immediately.
The system was designed so that devs can typically scale data ingestion up to provider bottlenecks w/out extra work.
We have implemented user-level permissions and high level document management alongside the vector db, which most devs need to build in a production setting, along with the API and data ingestion scaling.
Lastly, we also log every search and RAG completion that flows through the system. This is really important to find weaknesses and tune the system over time. Most devs end up needing an observability solution for their RAG.
All of these connect to an open source developer dashboard that allows you to see uploaded files, test different configs, etc.
These basic features mean that devs can spend more time on iterating / customizing their application specific features like custom data ingestion, hybrid search and advanced RAG.
