Establish foundational abstractions: storage interfaces, base classes, type definitions, and configuration management. Set up Bun project with TypeScript and Drizzle ORM. Create schema definitions and migrations for PostgreSQL. This creates the contract layer that all other components will depend on. Implement basic in-memory storage to enable early testing.
### Phase 2: Storage Layer (Weeks 3-5)
Implement storage adapters for primary backends (PostgreSQL, NetworkX-equivalent using graphology, NanoVectorDB-equivalent). Focus on KV and Vector storage first, then Graph storage, finally Doc Status storage. Each storage type should pass identical test suites regardless of backend.
### Phase 2: Storage Layer with Drizzle (Weeks 3-5)
Implement storage adapters using Drizzle ORM for PostgreSQL (primary), graphology for graph storage, and in-memory vector storage. Define Drizzle schemas for KV storage, document status, and relational data. Implement vector storage using Drizzle with pgvector extension. Create connection pooling and transaction management. Each storage type should pass identical test suites regardless of backend.
### Phase 3: LLM Integration (Weeks 4-6, parallel)
Build LLM and embedding provider adapters, starting with OpenAI as reference implementation. Implement retry logic, rate limiting, and error handling. Create abstract interfaces that other providers can implement. Add streaming support for responses.

```
#### Database Connection with Drizzle
```typescript
// db.ts - Setup database connection
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js';
import postgres from 'postgres';
import * as schema from './schema';
// For Bun or Node.js
const connectionString = process.env.DATABASE_URL!;
// Create connection pool
const client = postgres(connectionString, {
max: 20, // Connection pool size
idle_timeout: 30,
connect_timeout: 10,
});
// Create Drizzle instance
export const db = drizzle(client, { schema });
// For migrations
import { migrate } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js/migrator';
export async function runMigrations() {
await migrate(db, { migrationsFolder: './drizzle' });
console.log('Migrations completed');
}
```
#### Type-Safe Queries with Drizzle
```typescript
import { db } from './db';
import { textChunks, entities, relationships, documents } from './schema';
import { eq, and, or, sql, desc, asc } from 'drizzle-orm';
// Insert text chunk
await db.insert(textChunks).values({
id: chunkId,
content: chunkContent,
tokens: tokenCount,
fullDocId: docId,
metadata: { page: 1, section: 'intro' },
});
// Query text chunks
const chunks = await db
.select()
.from(textChunks)
.where(eq(textChunks.fullDocId, docId))
.orderBy(desc(textChunks.createdAt));
// Insert entity with type inference
await db.insert(entities).values({
name: 'John Doe',
type: 'Person',
description: 'CEO of Company X',
sourceIds: ['doc1', 'doc2'],
});
// Complex join query - get entity with relationships
const entityWithRelations = await db.query.entities.findFirst({
where: eq(entities.name, 'John Doe'),
with: {
outgoingRelations: {
with: {
target: true,
},
},
},
});
// Vector similarity search with pgvector
const similarEntities = await db
.select()
.from(entities)
.orderBy(sql`${entities.embedding} <-> ${queryVector}`)
.limit(10);
// Transaction example
await db.transaction(async (tx) => {
// Insert entity
const [entity] = await tx.insert(entities).values({
name: 'Jane Smith',
type: 'Person',
}).returning();
// Insert relationship
await tx.insert(relationships).values({
sourceEntity: 'John Doe',
targetEntity: entity.name,
relationshipType: 'KNOWS',
});
});
// Batch insert for performance
await db.insert(textChunks).values([
{ id: '1', content: 'chunk1', tokens: 100, fullDocId: 'doc1' },
{ id: '2', content: 'chunk2', tokens: 150, fullDocId: 'doc1' },
{ id: '3', content: 'chunk3', tokens: 120, fullDocId: 'doc1' },
]);
// Update document status
await db
.update(documents)
.set({
status: 'completed',
processedAt: new Date(),
chunkCount: 10,
})
.where(eq(documents.id, docId));
// Delete old data
await db
.delete(textChunks)
.where(
and(
eq(textChunks.fullDocId, docId),
sql`${textChunks.createdAt} < NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'`
)
);
```
#### Drizzle Kit - Migrations
```typescript
// drizzle.config.ts
import type { Config } from 'drizzle-kit';
export default {
schema: './src/schema.ts',
out: './drizzle',
driver: 'pg',
dbCredentials: {
connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL!,
},
} satisfies Config;
```
**Migration Commands:**
```bash
# Generate migration from schema changes
bun drizzle-kit generate:pg
# Apply migrations
bun drizzle-kit push:pg
# View current migrations
bun drizzle-kit up:pg
# Drop all tables (be careful!)
bun drizzle-kit drop
```
#### Alternative: Plain SQL with postgres.js (for complex queries)
```typescript
import postgres from 'postgres';
const sql = postgres(connectionString);
// Complex graph traversal query
const result = await sql`
WITH RECURSIVE entity_network AS (
SELECT id, name, type, 1 as depth
FROM entities
WHERE name = ${startEntity}
UNION ALL
SELECT e.id, e.name, e.type, en.depth + 1
FROM entities e
JOIN relationships r ON r.target_entity = e.name
JOIN entity_network en ON r.source_entity = en.name
WHERE en.depth < ${maxDepth}
)
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM entity_network;
`;
```
**Performance Benefits:**
- Drizzle generates optimal SQL (no ORM overhead)
- Connection pooling built-in
- Prepared statements for security
- Type-safe at compile time, fast at runtime

## API and Web Framework Dependencies
### FastAPI → Node.js Framework
### FastAPI → Hono (Recommended) or Fastify
#### Option 1: Hono (Recommended for Bun)
| Python Package | npm Package | Version | Notes |
|----------------|-------------|---------|-------|
| `fastapi` | `hono` | ^4.0.0 | Ultrafast, runtime-agnostic, TypeScript-first |
| | `@hono/zod-openapi` | ^0.9.0 | OpenAPI with Zod validation |
| | `zod` | ^3.22.0 | Type-safe validation |
**Migration complexity**: Low
**Recommendation**: Use Hono for best performance (3-4x faster than Express, works on Bun/Node/Deno/Cloudflare Workers).
**Hono Example:**
```typescript
import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { cors } from 'hono/cors';
import { jwt } from 'hono/jwt';
import { logger } from 'hono/logger';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { zValidator } from '@hono/zod-validator';
import { createRoute, OpenAPIHono } from '@hono/zod-openapi';
// Type-safe OpenAPI routes
const app = new OpenAPIHono();
// Middleware
app.use('*', logger());
app.use('*', cors());
app.use('/api/*', jwt({ secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET! }));
// Query schema
const QuerySchema = z.object({
query: z.string().min(1).openapi({
example: 'What is LightRAG?',
}),
mode: z.enum(['local', 'global', 'hybrid', 'mix', 'naive', 'bypass']).default('mix'),
top_k: z.number().positive().default(40),
stream: z.boolean().default(false),
});
// Type-safe route with OpenAPI
const queryRoute = createRoute({
method: 'post',
path: '/api/query',
request: {
body: {
content: {
'application/json': {
schema: QuerySchema,
},
},
},
},
responses: {

content: {
'application/json': {
schema: z.object({
response: z.string(),
sources: z.array(z.string()),
}),
},
},
},
},
});
app.openapi(queryRoute, async (c) => {
const { query, mode, top_k, stream } = c.req.valid('json');
// Process query
const response = await processQuery(query, mode, top_k, stream);
return c.json(response);
});
// OpenAPI documentation
app.doc('/openapi.json', {
openapi: '3.0.0',

});
// Start server (Bun)
export default app;
// Or use Bun.serve
Bun.serve({
port: 9621,
fetch: app.fetch,

**Alternative**: Express.js (^4.18.0) - More familiar but slower
**Migration complexity**: Low
**Recommendation**: Use Fastify for similar performance to FastAPI.
**Use Case**: When you need Node.js-specific features or existing Fastify ecosystem.

**Key Changes for Bun:**
- ✅ Uses `bun --watch` instead of tsx/nodemon
- ✅ Bun's native build command for bundling
- ✅ `--compile` flag creates standalone executable
- ✅ Drizzle Kit for database migrations
- ✅ Hono instead of Fastify
- ✅ `postgres` driver instead of `pg` (faster with Bun)
- ✅ No need for ts-node, tsx, or vitest
- ✅ Smaller dependency tree

## Build and Development Workflow
### Development Mode
### Development Mode with Bun
```bash
# Install dependencies
pnpm install
# Install Bun (if not already installed)
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
# Install dependencies (20-100x faster than npm)
bun install
# Start development server with hot reload
pnpm dev
bun run dev
# Or directly run TypeScript file with watch mode
bun --watch src/api/server.ts
# Run tests with Bun's test runner (faster than Jest/Vitest)
bun test
# Run tests in watch mode
pnpm test
bun test --watch
# Type checking
pnpm typecheck
bun run typecheck
# Database operations
bun run db:generate # Generate migrations from schema
bun run db:migrate # Apply migrations
bun run db:studio # Open Drizzle Studio GUI
```
### Build for Production
### Build for Production with Bun
```bash
# Build optimized bundle
pnpm build
# Build optimized bundle for Bun runtime
bun build src/index.ts --outdir dist --target bun --minify
# Build standalone executable (single binary, no Node.js needed!)
bun build src/api/server.ts --compile --minify --outfile lightrag-server
# The standalone binary includes Bun runtime + your code
# Can be deployed without installing Bun or Node.js
./lightrag-server
# Run production build
pnpm start
bun run start
```
### Build Configuration (tsup.config.ts)
### Alternative: Node.js Compatible Build
If you need Node.js compatibility, you can still use traditional tools:
```bash
# Using tsup for Node.js build
bun run build
# Or using Bun's bundler with Node target
bun build src/index.ts --outdir dist --target node --minify
```
### Build Configuration Comparison
**Option 1: Bun Native (Recommended)**
No configuration needed! Bun handles TypeScript natively:
```bash
# Just run TypeScript directly

## Essential Code Snippets
### 1. Drizzle Schema (src/storage/schema.ts)
```typescript
import { pgTable, text, varchar, timestamp, integer, vector, jsonb, serial } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';
// Text chunks
export const textChunks = pgTable('text_chunks', {
id: varchar('id', { length: 255 }).primaryKey(),
content: text('content').notNull(),
tokens: integer('tokens').notNull(),
fullDocId: varchar('full_doc_id', { length: 255 }).notNull(),
metadata: jsonb('metadata'),
createdAt: timestamp('created_at').defaultNow().notNull(),
});
// Entities
export const entities = pgTable('entities', {
id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
name: varchar('name', { length: 500 }).notNull().unique(),
type: varchar('type', { length: 100 }),
description: text('description'),
embedding: vector('embedding', { dimensions: 1536 }),
sourceIds: jsonb('source_ids').$type<string[]>(),
createdAt: timestamp('created_at').defaultNow().notNull(),
});
// Relationships
export const relationships = pgTable('relationships', {
id: serial('id').primaryKey(),
sourceEntity: varchar('source_entity', { length: 500 }).notNull(),
targetEntity: varchar('target_entity', { length: 500 }).notNull(),
relationshipType: varchar('relationship_type', { length: 200 }),
description: text('description'),
weight: integer('weight').default(1),
embedding: vector('embedding', { dimensions: 1536 }),
createdAt: timestamp('created_at').defaultNow().notNull(),
});
```
### 2. Database Connection (src/storage/db.ts)
```typescript
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js';
import postgres from 'postgres';
import * as schema from './schema';
const client = postgres(Bun.env.DATABASE_URL!, { max: 20 });
export const db = drizzle(client, { schema });
```
### 3. Hono API Server (src/api/server.ts)
```typescript
import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { cors } from 'hono/cors';
import { logger } from 'hono/logger';
import { jwt } from 'hono/jwt';
import { OpenAPIHono, createRoute } from '@hono/zod-openapi';
import { z } from 'zod';
const app = new OpenAPIHono();
app.use('*', logger());
app.use('*', cors());
app.use('/api/*', jwt({ secret: Bun.env.JWT_SECRET! }));
// Query route
const QuerySchema = z.object({
query: z.string().min(1),
mode: z.enum(['local', 'global', 'hybrid', 'mix', 'naive', 'bypass']).default('mix'),
top_k: z.number().int().positive().default(40),
});
const queryRoute = createRoute({
method: 'post',
path: '/api/query',
request: { body: { content: { 'application/json': { schema: QuerySchema } } } },
responses: {
200: { description: 'Query response' },
},
});
app.openapi(queryRoute, async (c) => {
const { query, mode, top_k } = c.req.valid('json');
const result = await rag.query(query, { mode, top_k });
return c.json(result);
});
// Start server
Bun.serve({
port: 9621,
fetch: app.fetch,
});
```
### 4. Type-Safe Database Queries
```typescript
import { db } from './db';
import { textChunks, entities, relationships } from './schema';
import { eq, sql } from 'drizzle-orm';
// Insert chunk
await db.insert(textChunks).values({
id: chunkId,
content: text,
tokens: tokenCount,
fullDocId: docId,
});
// Vector similarity search
const similar = await db
.select()
.from(entities)
.orderBy(sql`${entities.embedding} <-> ${queryVector}`)
.limit(10);
// Complex join
const entityWithRelations = await db.query.entities.findFirst({
where: eq(entities.name, 'John Doe'),
with: {
outgoingRelations: { with: { target: true } },
},
});
```
### 5. LLM Integration
```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
export class OpenAIProvider {
private client: OpenAI;
constructor(apiKey: string) {
this.client = new OpenAI({ apiKey });
}
async chat(messages: any[], options: any): Promise<string> {
const response = await this.client.chat.completions.create({
model: options.model || 'gpt-4-turbo',
messages,
temperature: options.temperature || 0.7,
max_tokens: options.max_tokens || 1000,
});
return response.choices[0].message.content || '';
}
async *streamChat(messages: any[], options: any) {
const stream = await this.client.chat.completions.create({
model: options.model || 'gpt-4-turbo',
messages,
stream: true,
});
for await (const chunk of stream) {
yield chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '';
}
}
async embeddings(texts: string[]): Promise<number[][]> {
const response = await this.client.embeddings.create({
model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
input: texts,
});
return response.data.map(d => d.embedding);
}
}
```
