Seven RAG Architectures Beyond the Naive Pipeline and When Each Fits
Naive RAG breaks in predictable ways. Seven architectures, from contextual notes to multi-agent and memory retrieval, with their trade-offs and when to use each.

Why static RAG fails on multi-hop and time-sensitive questions, and how a LangGraph agent routes between Qdrant and web search, with guardrails and caveats.
