Build Real Time RAG using Debezium, Kafka and FlinkAbstract:
Generative AI relies on timely, accurate data for meaningful outputs. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances this by integrating real-time data retrieval with generative models. This talk explores building a real-time RAG system using Debezium, Kafka, and Flink. By combining change data capture, event streaming, and real-time processing, the system ensures AI applications stay updated with live data, boosting relevance and reliability.
