What you'll learn

Deciding whether to index or not

Understand the tradeoffs and decision framework for when indexing makes sense in your RAG system

Building knowledge graphs for retrieval

Learn the technical approach and measurable customer impact from building graph-based retrieval systems

Solving MCP tool sprawl

Discover how super retrieval tools and codegen consolidate multiple tools into streamlined, functional systems

Why this topic matters

Production RAG requires architectural decisions most tutorials skip: whether to index, how to structure knowledge for complex retrieval, when prompt optimization compounds value, and solving tool sprawl before it kills performance. This session shows you the tradeoffs and implementations that separate demos from systems handling real user queries at scale.
