🚀 Free RAG Learning Path: From Basic to Multi-Agent Systems (143 Files, 70+ Technologies)

🚀 Free RAG Learning Path: From Basic to Multi-Agent Systems (143 Files, 70+ Technologies)

Are you a CS student or aspiring AI engineer? I just released a completely free GitHub repository that takes you from RAG basics to production-grade multi-agent systems.

🎯 What You Get (100% Free)

Repository: https://github.com/KlementMultiverse/rag-mastery-hub

This isn't another tutorial collection. This is 8,263 lines of production-ready code covering:

✅ Level 1: Basic RAG (Start Here)

  • Simple keyword-based RAG - TF-IDF + Grok API
  • Vector database RAG - ChromaDB & Pinecone integration
  • Production RAG - Circuit breakers, Redis caching, Prometheus metrics

✅ Level 2: Advanced RAG Techniques

  • Query Rewriting - HyDE, multi-query expansion
  • Reranking - Cross-encoders, Cohere Rerank, RRF fusion
  • Chunking Strategies - Semantic, recursive, sliding window
  • Knowledge Graphs - Neo4j integration, entity extraction
  • Hybrid Search - BM25 + semantic search fusion
  • Multimodal RAG - Text + images with CLIP & GPT-4 Vision

✅ Level 3: Multi-Agent Systems (ALL Frameworks)

  • LangChain - ReAct agents, research workflows
  • AutoGen - Microsoft's conversational agents & group chat
  • CrewAI - Role-based agent crews
  • LangGraph - Graph-based workflows with state management
  • Amazon Bedrock - AWS-native orchestration

✅ Level 4: Production Pipelines

  • Ingestion - Batch & streaming with Kafka, Celery
  • Evaluation - RAGAS metrics, A/B testing
  • Monitoring - Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry

✅ Level 5: Cloud Deployments

  • AWS - Lambda, SageMaker, Bedrock, CloudFormation
  • GCP - Vertex AI, Cloud Run, Terraform
  • Azure - OpenAI Service, Container Apps, Bicep

✅ Level 6: Real Use Cases

  • Customer Support Bot - Sentiment analysis, ticket routing
  • Research Assistant - arXiv API, citation extraction
  • Code Assistant - AST parsing, GitHub integration
  • Legal Document Analyzer - Contract analysis, entity extraction

🔥 Why This Repository Is Perfect for Students

1. Learn By Doing, Not Just Reading

Every module has working code you can run immediately. No half-baked tutorials.

2. Cover Every Framework (Stand Out in Interviews)

  • LangChain
  • AutoGen
  • CrewAI
  • LangGraph
  • Amazon Bedrock

Most students know one framework. You'll know ALL five.

3. Production-Grade Code (Not Toy Examples)

  • 100% type hints (Python best practices)
  • SOLID principles throughout
  • Comprehensive error handling
  • Structured logging (production-ready)
  • Environment-based config (no hardcoded secrets)
  • Docker & CI/CD (DevOps skills)

4. Cloud Skills (AWS, GCP, Azure)

Most bootcamps teach you theory. This repo gives you deployment code for all three major clouds.

5. 70+ Technologies in One Place

Vector Databases: Pinecone, ChromaDB, Weaviate, Qdrant, OpenSearch
LLMs: Grok, OpenAI, Claude, PaLM, Azure OpenAI
Frameworks: LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, Bedrock
Graph DBs: Neo4j, NetworkX
NLP: SpaCy, NLTK, Unstructured.io
Cloud: AWS (Lambda, SageMaker), GCP (Vertex AI), Azure (Functions)
Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, LangSmith
DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions, Terraform, CloudFormation


📊 What Makes This Different?

Most Tutorials This Repository
Single framework 5 frameworks
Basic examples Production code

🌟 Why I Built This

I'm a developer building AI systems in production. I kept seeing students struggle because:

  1. Tutorials use toy examples - Not production code
  2. Single framework focus - Can't compare/choose
  3. No cloud deployment - Theory only
  4. No error handling - Breaks in real life
  5. Scattered resources - No learning path

This repository solves all five problems.
