    Improving search with RAG architecture with Pinecone CEO Edo Liberty

    Improving search with RAG architecture with Pinecone CEO Edo Liberty
    Accurate, customizable search is one of the most immediate AI use cases for companies and general users. Today on No Priors, Elad and Sarah are joined by Pinecone CEO, Edo Liberty, to talk about how RAG architecture is improving syntax search and making LLMs more available. By using a RAG model Pinecone makes it possible for companies to vectorize their data and query it for the most accurate responses.  In this episode, they talk about how Pinecone’s Canopy product is making search more accurate by using larger data sets in a way that is more efficient and cost effective—which was almost impossible before there were serverless options. They also get into how RAG architecture uniformly increases accuracy across the board, how these models can increase “operational sanity” in the dataset  for their customers, and hybrid search models that are using keywords and embeds.  Sign up for new podcasts every week.

    2:47 - Wes tried Cloudflare Workers

    • Also this is so cool:

    Hey Wes, just listened to the latest Syntax episode on the serverless setup. Not sure if it’s an episode idea or not, but if you wanna do a bit of a dive on Cloudflare’s service workers, I’m currently leading an “invisible infrastructure migration” right now from a legacy WordPress setup to a new Storyblok/Netlify setup. We’re using Cloudflare’s service workers to basically “stitch” the headers/menus/footers from the old WordPress site into our new Netlify pages, but serving the page back as if it was part of the normal domain. This means we can migrate from the old to the new slowly without massively disrupting SEO, doing a lengthy/costly rebuild, etc.

    • A word on Digital Ocean
    • Kubernetes + FAAS allows you to scale up/down

    13:54 - Secret management

    • Some have a great UI
    • Some have a CLI
    • Some only have production
    • Some have dev/staging/prod

    16:24 - Vendor lock-in

    • Two kinds of vendor lock-in
      • Lock into a low-level provider (Like AWS, or MongoDB)
      • Lock into a framework
    • Questions to ask:
      • Can I go, take my app as-is, and host it on another provider?
      • Can I refactor the config and run my code as-is?
      • Do I need to refactor my code for it to run on other platforms?
    • Next.js will only run on Now
    • There is a community package
    • Begin all runs on Arc.codes
    • Firebase is locked in?

    25:12 - Sharing dependencies

    • Each function will have its own package.json, which can be a pain
    • Publish utils a private module
    • AWS Layers
    • Import/export
    • Bundle and tree shake

    30:26 - Local development

    • Now dev
    • NPX sandbox
    • Wrangler for Cloudflare workers

    36:40 - Existing applications

    • Difficult to move with many routes, but easy to move a Graphql API that has one single route
    • Maybe do piece by piece instead of all at once
    • Begin has http express method

    45:21 - Data

    • Any DB you want
    • Dynamo DB integrated into many
    • Firebase
    • KV Storage for Cloudflare workers
    • Fauna

    48:14 - File storage

    • Generally files go in the associated file place like Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudinary
    • Many also have this integrated as well

    52:18 - Auth

    • Serverless is ephemeral and stateless
    • JWT likely as sessions will work, but doesn’t really make sense
