RAG Module - Rust Implementation

Rust License: MIT Crates.io

High-performance Rust implementation of the Enterprise RAG module with chat context storage, vector search, session management, and automatic model downloading (like Node.js Transformers).

πŸš€ Features

πŸ€– Model Management

  • Automatic Model Downloading: Downloads models from Hugging Face Hub to ./models/
  • Local Model Caching: Efficient caching system for transformer models
  • Fallback System: BGE-M3 β†’ MiniLM β†’ MPNet fallback chain
  • Directory Structure: Auto-creates models/, cache/, data/, keys/ directories

πŸ” Core RAG Capabilities

  • Vector Search: Embedded Qdrant and local file-based vector stores
  • Multi-Cloud Support: AWS, Azure, GCP estate data management
  • Encryption: AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive data
  • Chat Context: Complete chat history retrieval and management
  • Session Management: Persistent chat sessions with context tracking

⚑ Performance & Compatibility

  • API Compatibility: HTTP API matching the Node.js module interface
  • Performance: Rust's memory safety and zero-cost abstractions
  • Privacy: Configurable data filtering and anonymization
  • Node.js Style: Familiar API patterns for Node.js developers

πŸ“¦ Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rag-module = "0.1"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }

πŸƒ Quick Start

πŸ€– Automatic Model Setup (Like Node.js)

use rag_module::RagModule;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Creates directory structure like Node.js
    let rag = RagModule::new("./rag-data").await?;

    // This automatically:
    // 1. Creates ./rag-data/models/ directory
    // 2. Downloads BGE-M3 from Hugging Face (or fallback to MiniLM)
    // 3. Caches model locally for future use
    // 4. Sets up encryption keys in ./rag-data/keys/
    rag.initialize().await?;

    println!("βœ… RAG Module initialized with model caching!");

    // Check what got downloaded
    let model_info = rag.embedding_service.get_model_info().await?;
    let storage_info = rag.embedding_service.get_storage_info().await?;

    println!("Model: {}", model_info["name"]);
    println!("Cached size: {}", storage_info["totalSizeFormatted"]);

    Ok(())
}

πŸ“„ Document Management

use rag_module::{RagModule, types::*};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Initialize RAG module
    let rag = RagModule::new("./rag-data").await?;
    rag.initialize().await?;
    
    // Add document
    let doc = Document::new(
        "doc-1".to_string(),
        "AWS user permissions for EC2 and RDS".to_string()
    );
    let doc_id = rag.add_document("aws_estate", doc).await?;
    
    // Search
    let results = rag.search(
        "aws_estate",
        "EC2 permissions",
        SearchOptions::default()
    ).await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

As an HTTP Server

# Run the server
cargo run --bin rag-server

# Server runs on http://127.0.0.1:3000

API Endpoints (Node.js Compatible)

# Health check
GET /health

# Documents
POST /api/documents
GET /api/documents/:collection/:id
PUT /api/documents/:collection/:id
DELETE /api/documents/:collection/:id

# Search
POST /api/search

# Chat
POST /api/chat/message
GET /api/chat/:context_id

# AWS Estate
POST /api/aws/estate

# Collections

  model: "BAAI/bge-m3"
  dimensions: 1024
  service_url: "http://localhost:8001"

vector_store:

Migration from Node.js

API Compatibility

The Rust implementation maintains 100% API compatibility with the Node.js version:

// Node.js
const rag = new RagModule('./rag-data');
await rag.initialize();
const results = await rag.search('aws_estate', 'EC2 permissions', {});

// Rust HTTP API (same interface)
const response = await fetch('/api/search', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({
    collection_type: 'aws_estate',
    query: 'EC2 permissions',
    options: {}
  })
});

Data Migration

Existing Node.js data can be migrated:

  1. Export data from Node.js module
  2. Use Rust import API endpoints
  3. Vector embeddings are preserved
  4. Encryption keys can be migrated

Production Deployment

As a Service

# Build optimized release
cargo build --release

# Run production server
RUST_LOG=info ./target/release/rag-server

Docker Support

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y ca-certificates
COPY --from=builder /app/target/release/rag-server /usr/local/bin/
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["rag-server"]

Resource Requirements

  • Memory: 50-100MB base usage

cargo test

# Run with output
cargo test -- --nocapture

# Run specific test
cargo test test_embedding_service

# Benchmarks
cargo bench

Development

Adding New Services

  1. Create service in src/services/
  2. Implement required traits
  3. Add to services/mod.rs
  4. Update lib.rs initialization

Custom Vector Stores

Implement the VectorStore trait:

#[async_trait]
impl VectorStore for MyCustomStore {
    async fn initialize(&self) -> Result<()> { ... }
    async fn add_document(&self, collection: &str, doc: Document) -> Result<String> { ... }
    async fn search(&self, collection: &str, vector: Vec<f32>, options: SearchOptions) -> Result<Vec<SearchResult>> { ... }
    // ... other methods
}

Security

  • Encryption: AES-256-GCM for data at rest
  • Privacy: Configurable data filtering
  • Access Control: Token-based authentication (configurable)
  • Audit Logging: Request/response logging
  • Memory Safety: Rust's ownership system prevents memory vulnerabilities

License

MIT License - same as the original Node.js module.

Support

For issues and questions:

  1. Check existing Node.js documentation
  2. Rust-specific issues: Create GitHub issues
  3. Performance optimization: Benchmarking tools included

This Rust implementation provides the same functionality as the Node.js version with significantly improved performance, memory safety, and resource efficiency."
