# RAG Module - Rust Implementation
[](https://www.rust-lang.org)
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[](https://crates.io/crates/rag-module)
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).
## 🚀 Features
### **🤖 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 → MiniLM → MPNet fallback chain
- **Directory Structure**: Auto-creates `models/`, `cache/`, `data/`, `keys/` directories
### **🔍 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

### Key Features Converted
1. **RagModule.js** → **lib.rs**: Main module with all services
2. **EmbeddedQdrantVectorStore.js** → **embedded_qdrant.rs**: File-based vector storage
3. **EncryptionService.js** → **encryption_service.rs**: AES-256-GCM encryption
4. **ConfigManager.js** → **config/mod.rs**: YAML/JSON configuration
5. **All Services** → **services/** directory: Complete business logic
## 📦 Installation
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
rag-module = "0.1"
tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }
```
## 🏃 Quick Start
### **🤖 Automatic Model Setup (Like Node.js)**
```rust
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!("✅ 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(())
}
```
### **📄 Document Management**
```rust
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
```bash
# Run the server
cargo run --bin rag-server
# Server runs on http://127.0.0.1:3000
```
### API Endpoints (Node.js Compatible)
```bash
# 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
GET /api/collections
GET /api/collections/:name
```
## Configuration
Create `config.yaml` in your data directory:
```yaml
embedding:
model: "BAAI/bge-m3"
dimensions: 1024
service_url: "http://localhost:8001"
vector_store:
backend: "qdrant-embedded" # or "local-files"
distance_metric: "Cosine"
encryption:
algorithm: "AES-256-GCM"
enable_content_encryption: true
enable_metadata_encryption: true
enable_embedding_encryption: false
privacy:
level: "minimal-aws" # "full", "minimal-aws", "anonymous"
enable_data_filtering: true
security:
enable_access_logging: true
max_request_size: 10485760 # 10MB
```

## Migration from Node.js
### API Compatibility
The Rust implementation maintains 100% API compatibility with the Node.js version:
```javascript
// 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
```bash
# Build optimized release
cargo build --release
# Run production server
RUST_LOG=info ./target/release/rag-server
```
### Docker Support
```dockerfile
FROM rust:1.70 AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN cargo build --release
FROM debian:bullseye-slim
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
- **CPU**: Multi-core support with tokio
- **Disk**: Depends on vector data size
- **Network**: HTTP/HTTPS support
## Testing
```bash
# Run all tests
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:
```rust
#[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
