Enterprise AI Workflow Patterns: Autonomy vs Control
Choose between single inference, fully autonomous agents, deterministic workflows, and guided hybrid agents. Comparison matrix, JSON contracts, and when to escalate from one call to a full agent.
RAG
Retrieval-augmented generation — context construction, grounding, ranking, and production pipelines.
SQL vs NoSQL - Under the Hood
Relational tables, document stores, key-value, graph, vector, and time-series: what each model is, when to use it, when not to, and the tradeoffs under the hood.
Retrieval Is a Governed Action
Retrieval is not a database query; it is a governed action. How Policy-Governed Agent Runtime applies to RAG when context construction must be scoped, auditable, and enforced before inference.
RAG Is Not a Database
RAG is runtime context construction at query time, not a storage layer you bolt onto an LLM.
