From Flawed RAG to Production‑Ready: A Deep Dive into Scaling Retrieval‑Augmented Generation
The article analyses why early RAG deployments suffer from low recall, hallucinations and cost overruns, breaks down eight concrete pain points—from PDF parsing pitfalls to the lost‑in‑the‑middle effect—then presents a systematic diagnosis framework, proven best‑practice roadmap, advanced GraphRAG and Agentic RAG approaches, and practical engineering trade‑offs for enterprise rollout.
