package for building agentic RAG systems that integrates with a wide range of orchestration tools, vector databases, and LLM providers.</p>
|
||
<p>OpenRAG connects and amplifies three popular, proven open-source projects into one powerful platform:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li class="">
|
||
<p><a href="https://docs.langflow.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">Langflow</a>: Langflow is a versatile tool for building and deploying AI agents and MCP servers. It supports all major LLMs, vector databases, and a growing library of AI tools.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li class="">
|
||
<p><a href="https://docs.opensearch.org/latest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">OpenSearch</a>: OpenSearch is a community-driven, Apache 2.0-licensed open source search and analytics suite that makes it easy to ingest, search, visualize, and analyze data.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li class="">
|
||
<p><a href="https://docling-project.github.io/docling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">Docling</a>: Docling simplifies document processing, parsing diverse formats — including advanced PDF understanding — and providing seamless integrations with the gen AI ecosystem.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>OpenRAG builds on Langflow's familiar interface while adding OpenSearch for vector storage and Docling for simplified document parsing, with opinionated flows that serve as ready-to-use recipes for ingestion, retrieval, and generation from popular sources like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Sharepoint.</p>
|
||
<p>What's more, every part of the stack is swappable. Write your own custom components in Python, try different language models, and customize your flows to build an agentic RAG system.</p>
|
||

|
||
<p>OpenRAG deploys and orchestrates a lightweight, container-based architecture that combines <strong>Langflow</strong>, <strong>OpenSearch</strong>, and <strong>Docling</strong> into a cohesive RAG platform.</p>
|
||
<!-- -->
|
||
<p>The <strong>OpenRAG Backend</strong> is the central orchestration service that coordinates all other components.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Langflow</strong> provides a visual workflow engine for building AI agents, and connects to <strong>OpenSearch</strong> for vector storage and retrieval.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Docling Serve</strong> is a local document processing service managed by the <strong>OpenRAG Backend</strong>.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Third Party Services</strong> like <strong>Google Drive</strong> connect to the <strong>OpenRAG Backend</strong> through OAuth authentication, allowing synchronication of cloud storage with the OpenSearch knowledge base.</p>
|
||
<p>The <strong>OpenRAG Frontend</strong> provides the user interface for interacting with the system.</p>
|
||
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="performance-expectations">Performance expectations<a href="#performance-expectations" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Performance expectations" title="Direct link to Performance expectations" translate="no"></a></h2>
|
||
<p>On a local VM with 7 vCPUs and 8 GiB RAM, OpenRAG ingested approximately 5.03 GB across 1,083 files in about 42 minutes.
|
||
This equates to approximately 2.4 documents per second.</p>
|
||
<p>You can generally expect equal or better performance on developer laptops and significantly faster on servers.
|
||
Throughput scales with CPU cores, memory, storage speed, and configuration choices such as embedding model, chunk size and overlap, and concurrency.</p>
|
||
<p>This test returned 12 errors (approximately 1.1%).
|
||
All errors were file‑specific, and they didn't stop the pipeline.</p>
