Lightweight RAG with Edge-Served Generation

Scenario

Deploy an embedding model directly within OpenSearch for query-time vector retrieval, then host a generative LLM on Alibaba Cloud Linux behind a Cloudflare Worker edge proxy to form a complete RAG pipeline with global routing, response caching, and rate limiting.

Q: How do you deploy a lightweight RAG system using OpenSearch and Cloudflare? A: You deploy this architecture by running an embedding model directly inside OpenSearch for vector retrieval and hosting the generative LLM on Alibaba Cloud Linux behind a Cloudflare Worker edge proxy. This configuration forms a complete RAG pipeline that automatically handles global routing, response caching, and rate limiting.
