End-to-End RAG Solution with AWS Bedrock and LangChain

 In this blog, we will dive deep into the Retrieval–Augmented Generation (RAG) concept and explore how it can be used to enhance the capabilities of language models. We will also build an end–to–end application using these concepts. Let’s understand about RAG is, its use cases, and its benefits. Retrieval–augmented generation (RAG) is a process of optimizing the output of a large language model so it references an authoritative knowledge base outside of its training data source before generating a response. In–shot RAG is a technique for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of generating an AI model with facts fetched from external sources. I will explain how to create a RAG application to query your own PDF. For this, we will leverage aws bedrock Llama 3 8B Instruct model, LangChain framework and streamlit.

Key Technologies

1. Streamlit:a. Interactive front–end for the application.b. Simple yet powerful framework for building Python webapps.

2. LangChain:a. Framework for creating LLM–powered workflows.b. Provides seamless integration with AWS Bedrock.

3. AWS Bedrock:a. State–of–the–art LLM platform.b. Powered by the highly efficient Llama 3 8B Instruct model.

Let’s get started. The implementation of this application involves three

components.


1. Create a vector store

Load–>Transform–>Embed.

We will use the FAISS vector database, to efficiently handle queries,

the text is tokenized and embedded into a vector store using FAISS

(Facebook AI Similarity Search).


2. Query vector store “Retrieve most similar”

The way to handle this at query time, embed the unstructured

query and retrieve the embedding vector that is most similar to the embedded query. A vector stores embed data and performs a

vector search for you.

3. Response generation using LLM:

Imports and Setup

  1. os: Used for handling file paths and checking if files exist on disk.

  2. pickle: A Python library for serializing and deserializing Python objects to store/retrieve embeddings.

  3. boto3: AWS SDK for Python; used to interact with Amazon Bedrock services.

  4. streamlit: A library for creating web apps for data science and machine learning projects.

  5. Bedrock: Used to interact with Amazon Bedrock for deploying large language models (LLMs).

  6. Bedrock Embeddings: To generate embeddings using Bedrock models.

  7. FAISS: A library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors.

  8. Recursive Character Text Splitter: Splits large text into manageable chunks for embedding generation.

  9. Pdf Reader: From PyPDF2, used to extract text from PDF files.

  10. Prompt Template: Defines the structure of the prompt for the LLM.

  11. Retrieval QA: Combines a retriever and a chain to create a question–answering system.

  12. Stuff Documents Chain: Combines multiple documents into a single context for answering questions.

  13. LLM Chain: A chain that interacts with a language model using a defined prompt.

  14. Initialize Bedrock and Embedding Models

  15. Initializes an Amazon Bedrock client using boto3 to interact with Bedrock services.

Initializes the bedrock titan embedding model amazon.titan–embed–text–v1 for generating vector embeddings of text.

How to Turn CloudWatch Logs into Real-Time Alerts Using Metric Filters

Why Alarms Matter in Cloud Infrastructure   In any modern cloud-based architecture , monitoring and alerting play a critical role in maintaining reliability, performance, and security.   It's not enough to just have logs—you need a way to act on those logs when something goes wrong. That's where CloudWatch alarms come in.   Imagine a situation where your application starts throwing 5xx errors, and you don't know until a customer reports it. By the time you act, you've already lost trust.   Alarms prevent this reactive chaos by enabling proactive monitoring—you get notified the moment an issue surfaces, allowing you to respond before users even notice.   Without proper alarms:   You might miss spikes in 4xx/5xx errors.   You're always proactive instead of reactive .   Your team lacks visibility into critical system behavior.   Diagnosing issues becomes more difficult due to a lack of early signals.   Due to all the reasons Above, th...

How to Perform Penetration Testing on IoT Devices: Tools & Techniques for Business Security

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed our homes and workplaces but at what cost?   With billions of connected devices, hackers have more entry points than ever. IoT penetration testing is your best defense, uncovering vulnerabilities before cybercriminals do. But where do you start? Discover the top tools, techniques, and expert strategies to safeguard your IoT ecosystem. Don’t wait for a breach, stay one step ahead.   Read on to fortify your devices now!  Why IoT Penetration Testing is Critical  IoT devices often lack robust security by design. Many run on outdated firmware, use default credentials, or have unsecured communication channels. A single vulnerable device can expose an entire network.  Real-world examples of IoT vulnerabilities:   Mirai Botnet (2016) : Exploited default credentials in IP cameras and DVRs, launching massive DDoS attacks. Stuxnet (2010): Targeted industrial IoT systems, causing physical damage to nuclear centrifu...

Infrastructure-as-Prompt: How GenAI Is Revolutionizing Cloud Automation

Forget YAML sprawl and CLI incantations. The next frontier in cloud automation isn't about writing more code; it's about telling the cloud what you need. Welcome to the era of Infrastructure-as-Prompt (IaP), where Generative AI is transforming how we provision, manage, and optimize cloud resources. The Problem: IaC's Complexity Ceiling Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) like Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates revolutionized cloud ops. But it comes with baggage: Steep Learning Curve:  Mastering domain-specific languages and cloud provider nuances takes time. Boilerplate Bloat:  Simple tasks often require verbose, repetitive code. Error-Prone:  Manual coding leads to misconfigurations, security gaps, and drift. Maintenance Overhead:  Keeping templates updated across environments and providers is tedious. The Solution: GenAI as Your Cloud Co-Pilot GenAI models (like GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, or specialized cloud models) understand n...
