Building A Simple RAG System With Fastapi (2)
In part 1 of this series of articles, I created the outline of our fastapi application. I also created the first service we will need for our RAG system to work: the file parser.
The file parser is responsible for the extraction of text content from input files. I made sure to respect the open closed principle so that the file parser can be easily extended by registering a new specialised parser, and is closed for modification at the same time. I did that by using an elegant solution using a parser factory. Here is the link to the first article of the series:
One thing I didn’t do in my first article is programming defensively.
Defensive programming is a methodology that involves writing code in a way that anticipates and handles potential errors or unexpected usage scenarios. It is an approach that aims to ensure the program continues to function correctly under a variety of unforeseen circumstances.
When applied correctly, can significantly enhance the quality, security, and reliability of software. However, it’s important to…
