LlamaIndex vs LangChain RAG: Data-Centric Retrieval Pipelines for Production AI
In production AI, the value you realize hinges on data quality, governance, and robust operational discipline. Data-centric retrieval pipelines treat data as a first-class asset, with versioning, lineage, and observability baked into the RAG loop. This approach reduces drift, improves trust, and accelerates compliance.
