Vector Databases and RAG with Python

This comprehensive guide takes you from foundational concepts to production-ready implementations of vector databases and RAG systems. Starting with vector semantics and embeddings, you will learn to generate vector representations using neural networks, BERT, and OpenAI models. The book covers popular vector databases including Weaviate and Milvus, teaching you how to implement efficient search algorithms like k-nearest neighbors and hierarchical navigable small worlds. You will build complete RAG pipelines, explore advanced techniques like GraphRAG, and master evaluation frameworks using LlamaIndex. Each chapter includes hands-on Python examples with practical code implementations that demonstrate real-world applications.
