## Overview

Awesome RAG Production is a curated guide for engineers choosing and operating production RAG systems. The principal workflow is to use its decision guide and reference stacks, then explore resources across the RAG lifecycle and operational concerns. Supporting material adds benchmarks, datasets, case studies, and pitfalls. The README also describes weekly freshness auditing; sampled source confirms the discovery script queries GitHub and checks the README and benchmarks before writing proposed updates. Other resource sections are documented in the README but their individual entries were not sampled.

Main entry points: [`scripts/discovery_engine.py`](https://github.com/sushantbrpl/awesome-rag-production/blob/main/scripts/discovery_engine.py) (Freshness discovery), [`README.md`](https://github.com/sushantbrpl/awesome-rag-production/blob/main/README.md) (Decision guide), [`benchmarks.md`](https://github.com/sushantbrpl/awesome-rag-production/blob/main/benchmarks.md) (Benchmarks), [`showcase.md`](https://github.com/sushantbrpl/awesome-rag-production/blob/main/showcase.md) (Case studies)
