Why it matters

Production RAG needs optimization. Understanding shapes ops.

The architecture

Cache: embeddings + retrievals.

Batch: embed calls.

Right-size: rerank vs no rerank.

How it works end to end

Query cache: exact + semantic.

Batch embed calls.

Precompute embeddings.

Adaptive rerank (skip for confident).
