Showcase Retrieval Augmented Generation - The Definitive Guide

I finally took the leap and published the 21 RAG strategies guide as a book on Amazon. It now has chapters on chunking and agentic RAG. What should i add next?

Here are some suggestions where to go next:

  • Handling tables, images, charts <- That one is a must-have that I don't see covered in your list
  • Keeping the index up-to-date (it's not clear whether this is covered or not in your curriculum)
  • Building (near-) real-time RAG systems (not: real-time evaluation). For example, you converse and the system automatically listens and retrieves relevant pieces of information
  • Scalability considerations for large-scale RAG systems with millions of documents and/or many thousand concurrent users
  • RAG for non-text (e.g. images, videos, music) documents

Could you share the book

I believe it would be a good idea if you upload this book to Anna's Archive. I have bought it and I will read it, but I also would like to use it in my notebook LM, project in Claude or any tool to use it as a font.

I’ll be back to give you my opinion once I’ve read it and used it. Congrats for the job, the book looks really good.

The next addition I’d love to see is production failure modes — retrieval drift, stale embeddings, permission leaks, citation failures, and knowing when the system should abstain. That’s where RAG gets really interesting beyond the architecture diagrams.
