Enterprise Advanced RAG — GridOps

Build a production-grade Enterprise RAG system for electric grid operations using LangGraph, FastAPI, Qdrant, PostgreSQL, Redis caching, and advanced retrieval patterns. This repository evolves from a baseline RAG into a highly advanced system featuring Hybrid Search, ReRanking, HyDE, CRAG, Self-RAG, Text2SQL with human approval, comprehensive evaluation, and a layered guardrails pipeline.

Loading

The system is built on a robust, state-of-the-art AI stack:

1. LangGraph State Machine

Orchestrates the entire flow using a Postgres-checkpointed state machine with conditional edges and human-in-the-loop (HITL) interrupts.

• Intent Router: Dynamically routes queries between rag, sql, and hybrid workflows.

2. Advanced RAG Pipeline

• HyDE (Hypothetical Document Embeddings): Generates 3 hypothetical answers to bridge vocabulary gaps.
• Embed Query: Utilizes text-embedding-3-small for dense representations.
• Hybrid Retrieval: Combines dense vectors (Qdrant) with a sparse keyword index. Note: the sparse side is scikit-learn TF-IDF built in-process over the chunk payloads, not a true BM25 index and not Qdrant-native sparse vectors.
• RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion): Fuses dense and sparse results (k=60).
• Cross-Encoder Reranking: Re-scores the top RERANKER_INITIAL_TOP_K (20) candidates with cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2, which reads query and chunk together rather than comparing independent embeddings. Optional Voyage rerank-2.5 backend.
• CRAG (Corrective RAG): Grades retrieval relevance. If relevance < 0.7, falls back to Tavily Web Search.
• Spotlighting: Uses XML-delimited chunks to resist prompt injection and maintain context grounding.
• Self-RAG Reflection: Evaluates the final generated answer. If the score < REFLECTION_MIN_SCORE (0.85), it refines the question and regenerates (max 2 retries).

3. Text2SQL Pipeline

• Generate SQL: Uses schema-aware GPT-4o to translate Natural Language to SQL.
• Validate SQL: strict SELECT-only blocklist verification.
• Human-in-the-Loop (HITL): interrupt() halts execution until a user manually approves the SQL.
• Execute & Format: Runs safely against PostgreSQL and formats rows into context for the LLM.

4. Defense-in-Depth Security Pipeline

Protects both the input request and output response. Note the default column — the two llm-guard layers are opt-in behind ENABLE_SECURITY_SCANNERS=true, because they pull large HuggingFace models on first use. Everything else is always on.

Layer	Control	Implementation	Default
L1	Regex injection patterns	app/models.py Pydantic validators (→ HTTP 422)	✅ on
L2	Prompt-injection / toxicity scan	app/security/input_guard.py (llm-guard)	⚠️ off
L4a	JWT auth	app/middleware/auth.py	✅ on
L4b	Rate limiting (20 req/min)	app/middleware/rate_limiter.py	✅ on
L5	Input restructure (tiktoken truncation)	app/security/input_restructuring.py	✅ on
L6	Token budget (100k/day/user)	app/security/token_budget.py	✅ on
L7a	Output moderation (toxicity/banned topics)	app/security/content_moderation.py (llm-guard)	⚠️ off
L7b	PII redaction (email/phone/card/IP)	app/security/content_moderation.py (regex)	✅ on
L8	Spotlighting (XML isolation of retrieved text)	app/security/spotlighting.py	✅ on
L9	Response schema validation + repair retry	app/security/output_validator.py	✅ on

Enable the full stack with ENABLE_SECURITY_SCANNERS=true in .env.

5. 5-Tier Redis Cache (Upstash)

Wraps expensive LLM/DB calls with distinct TTLs to drastically reduce latency and costs:

• Embedding (7d)
• Intent Router (24h)
• SQL Gen (24h)
• SQL Result (15m)
• RAG Answer (1h)

6. Persistent Data Stores

• Qdrant: Dense vector storage over the grid-ops document corpus. (The sparse/TF-IDF index is built in-process at query time, not stored in Qdrant.)
• PostgreSQL 16: Ops Database (substations, feeders, transformers, meters, outages, scada_alarms, crew_dispatch_logs) + LangGraph Checkpoints.
• Upstash Redis: Serverless cache.
• OpenAI API: GPT-4o + Embeddings.
• Tavily API: Web search fallback.

🛠️ Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12+
• Node.js 18+ & npm (for the frontend)
• Docker & Docker Compose (for PostgreSQL and Qdrant)

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/prosws2210/Enterprise-RAG.git
cd Enterprise-RAG

2. Set up Environment Variables

Copy the example environment file and fill in your API keys:

cp .env.example .env

Ensure you provide:

• OPENAI_API_KEY (falls back to Groq for generation, and to a local sentence-transformers model for embeddings, if unset — see GROQ_API_KEY below; the RAGAS eval harness itself still requires a real OpenAI key)
• GROQ_API_KEY
• TAVILY_API_KEY
• Redis/Upstash credentials
• Database URLs (Local defaults are provided in .env.example)

3. Start the Backend Infrastructure

Use Docker Compose to spin up PostgreSQL and Qdrant locally:

docker-compose up -d

4. Set up the Python Backend

Dependencies are managed with uv:

cd backend
uv sync --extra dev

Initialize and seed the databases (runs migrations, seeds demo users, and ingests the grid-ops document corpus into Qdrant):

uv run python scripts/seed_db.py

Start the FastAPI Server:

uv run python scripts/serve.py

The API will be available at http://localhost:8000

5. Start the React Frontend

Open a new terminal window:

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

The beautifully redesigned UI will be available at http://localhost:5173

💻 Usage

1. Authentication: Create an account or log in through the futuristic Glassmorphism interface.
2. Knowledge Base: Navigate to the Documents page to drag-and-drop PDFs. They will be automatically parsed, chunked, embedded, and pushed to Qdrant.
3. Chat: Ask grid-operations questions — substations, feeders, transformers, outages, SCADA alarms, crew dispatch. Watch the pipeline route between standard RAG and Text2SQL.
4. Human-in-the-Loop: If you trigger a database query (Text2SQL), the system will pause and ask for your explicit approval before executing the query against Postgres.
5. System Dashboard: Monitor the live health of all infrastructure (Qdrant, Redis, Postgres) directly from the System Status page.
6. Evaluation Dashboard: View RAGAS evaluation metrics (Faithfulness, Precision, Recall, Relevancy) for your deployment.

🌱 Knowledge Base Design

The document corpus lives in backend/seed/docs/true_data/ and the operational database is generated by backend/scripts/data_pipeline/generate_grid_ops_db.py.

Category	Source	Count
Signal (true docs)	8 hand-authored grid-ops reference docs (substation ops, feeder restoration, transformer overload response, SCADA alarm handling, outage/crew dispatch, reliability metrics, meters, storm response) + 422 operational records generated from the seeded SQL rows by generate_grid_ops_docs.py (substation profiles, outage post-mortems, transformer inspections, feeder summaries, regional reports, storm after-action reports)	430 docs
Noise (distractor docs)	Generated by generate_noise_corpus.py — 70% near-domain (telecom/water/datacenter/HVAC/rail/fleet ops, sharing grid-ops vocabulary) + 30% far-domain (recipes/travel/HR/gardening/finance)	1,200 docs
SQL operational DB	Synthetic grid-ops data (substations, feeders, transformers, meters, outages, scada_alarms, crew_dispatch_logs)	7 tables, 3,050 rows

Total corpus: 1,630 documents → ~1,760 chunks in Qdrant. To push the noise ratio further toward a fully adversarial 95%-noise / 5%-signal split, grow noisy_data/ further with uv run python scripts/data_pipeline/generate_noise_corpus.py --count <N>.

# Eval harness (RAGAS over the 40 GridOps goldens — requires a real
# OPENAI_API_KEY; the RAGAS judge/embeddings have no Groq/local fallback)

# service mode (default): in-process, no server needed.
# Scores rag/web_fallback goldens; skips sql/hybrid (they need the HITL gate).
uv run python -m eval.run_ragas --profile naive

# api mode: drives the real HTTP API and auto-approves the Text2SQL
# interrupt(), so all 40 goldens are scored. Needs a running server
# (uv run python scripts/serve.py) and a seeded user.
#   Override creds with EVAL_API_USERNAME / EVAL_API_PASSWORD / EVAL_API_URL.
uv run python -m eval.run_ragas --profile naive --mode api

make eval-crag   # confirm CRAG's Tavily web-fallback lifts the out-of-corpus goldens
make eval-all    # every advanced feature enabled
make eval        # baseline + all, then diff them (see eval/diff.py)
