This article details an event-driven architecture for scaling Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platforms, particularly for handling large volumes of enterprise documents. The proposed solution uses decoupled asynchronous ingestion and Backlog-Driven Pod Autoscaling (KEDA) with Spot Compute on Amazon EKS to manage unpredictable traffic spikes efficiently. This approach aims to balance high throughput with cost savings by scaling worker pods based on queue depth rather than traditional metrics, avoiding both idle compute costs and user frustration from long document processing backlogs.
