## Product highlights

Extend a proven full-stack architecture for RAG—from knowledge bases to agent orchestration—with one unified stack and delivery model.

⚡

### Full-stack, unified

Gin on the backend and Vue 3 on the frontend, plus JWT, dynamic menus, Casbin, and code generation—ship admin consoles and RAG pipelines faster.

📚

### RAG-ready workflows

Retrieval-augmented pipelines where knowledge, documents, and agents integrate with your users and permissions—ideal for private deployments and customization.

🔧

### Extensible and integrable

Modular hooks for vector stores, model services, and enterprise SSO. Website content and documentation can evolve together with articles and release notes.

## Core advantages vs. typical Python projects

A Go-based compiled backend complements interpreted Python stacks in performance, shipping model, and operations—especially when latency, concurrency, and deployment footprint matter.

- Speed and throughput Native binaries start quickly with predictable GC. For high-concurrency retrieval and API aggregation, you typically get steadier latency and higher throughput—and simpler horizontal scaling.
- Compiled delivery and stronger code protection Ship one or a few binaries without exposing a plain source tree on the server—often better for protecting implementation details than typical Python source deployments.
- Smaller deployment footprint No need to ship a full interpreter and large runtime stacks for the core service—leaner images and artifacts, including at the edge and in resource-constrained environments.
- Higher concurrent user capacity Goroutines and lower baseline memory suit long-lived connections and multi-tenant scenarios—often more simultaneous sessions and admin operations on the same hardware.
