Liath embeds Lua for in-database RAG and logic execution

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Liath is a new embedded key-value store that distinguishes itself by integrating Lua as its query language, allowing developers to execute logic directly within the database. This approach minimizes data round-trips between the application and the database, which is particularly beneficial for complex operations like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Liath supports pluggable storage backends like LevelDB and RocksDB, and its plugin system enables functionalities such as vector embedding and LLM integration, all accessible from within Lua scripts.

    <p>Most embedded databases give you two verbs and a shrug. Put a value. Get a value.<br /> Anything cleverer than that, filtering, transforming, combining reads, you do in<br /> your application language, which means pulling data across the boundary, working on<br /> it, and push…
