🚀 Cloud-Native RAG Pipeline

A secure, cloud-native Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline built using Streamlit, LangChain, Hugging Face, FAISS, and Mistral-7B, architected for low-latency inference, real-time observability, and robust MLOps practices.

This project integrates microservices architecture, observability (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry), and security (PASETO, IAM policies) while reducing hallucination rate by 71.2%.

📌 Features

• 🔎 RAG Pipeline → LangChain + FAISS + Hugging Face + Mistral-7B for contextual retrieval and inference.
• 🖥️ Streamlit UI → Interactive frontend for seamless chatbot experience.
• ⚡ Microservices Architecture → Redis, Celery, MySQL for scalable backend operations.
• 📊 Observability Stack → CI/CD pipelines, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, OpenTelemetry tracing.
• 🔐 Security First → PASETO authentication and IAM policy enforcement.
• 📉 Optimized Embeddings → Hallucination rate reduced by 71.2% with fine-tuned MLOps pipelines.
