I'd like to suggest using haystack as the backend for the RAG system. It's quickly becoming the industry standard and is well maintained. I figured now would be a good time to suggest it while the RAG system is still mostly in beta.

Haystack solves a lot of the basic problems like providing flexibility for swapping out embedding models and chunking strategies. It's also robust and comes with a lot of good default options. Basically it offloads the task of engineering a SOTA RAG system to another group of open source developers.
