Overview

This PR implements a comprehensive, production-ready Database Router system as specified in the PRD. The system provides a scalable, modular, and database-agnostic router for handling structured data, vector embeddings, and object storage with support for hybrid RAG applications.

What's New

Core Architecture

  • FastAPI REST API: 27 endpoints across 4 routers (/data, /vector, /objects, /admin)
  • Adapter Pattern: Pluggable database and storage backends for easy extensibility
  • Multi-tenancy: Built-in tenant isolation with dedicated tables and relationships
  • Database Layer: SQLAlchemy ORM with 8 models (tenants, users, documents, document_chunks, objects, embeddings, configurations, backups)
  • Vector Search: pgvector integration with IVFFlat indexing for similarity search
  • Object Storage: MinIO/S3 adapter with presigned URL generation

Key Features

Overview

This PRD defines a modular, scalable, and database-agnostic router for handling structured data, vector embeddings, and object storage. It supports hybrid RAG and allows seamless switching between local/self-hosted and cloud backends.


Goals & Constraints

  • Handle data and objects.
  • Use PostgreSQL + pgvector for vector embeddings.
  • Use MinIO for object handling.
  • Support hybrid RAG queries.
  • Hosted in a separate Git repo, Dockerized.
  • Frontend and backend use this DB through standardized API in separate repos.
  • Fully written in Python, scalable.
  • Allow switching between self-hosted or cloud-based databases via configuration.

Architecture

High-Level Components:

Component Description
Router API FastAPI app exposing standardized endpoints for data, vector, and object operations.
Database Adapter Abstracts DB (Postgres, cloud SQL, etc.) with CRUD and vector operations.
Object Adapter Abstracts object storage (MinIO, S3, GCS, Azure Blob).
Configuration Layer Dynamic adapter configuration for switching backends.
Monitoring/Logging Metrics, tracing, and alerts via Prometheus/OpenTelemetry.

Step 1: Planning & Requirements

  • Break system into modules: Router API, DB adapter, Object adapter.
  • List all ambiguities: tenant isolation, versioning, hybrid RAG handling.
  • Step-by-step plan for architecture, schema, API, deployment.
  • Validate plan with stakeholders.

Step 2: High-Level Architecture

  • Frontend/backend communicate only with Router API.
  • Router API mediates all database and object storage operations.
  • Supports dynamic adapter switching.
  • Optional hybrid vector query adapters for RAG.

Step 3: Data Model & Indexing

Design Principles:

  • Structured metadata in Postgres.
  • Vector embeddings via pgvector.
  • Object references lightweight; binary data stored externally.
  • Multi-tenant, scalable, UUID primary keys.
  • JSONB for flexible metadata.

Core Tables: documents, document_chunks, objects, embeddings, configurations, backups, tenants, users.

pgvector Indexing:

  • ivfflat (large dataset), hnsw (high recall)
  • Hybrid local + external vector DB for RAG
  • Partition by tenant/time for scale
  • Connection pooling (pgbouncer)
  • Compression for large columns

Step 4: Database Schema Details

documents: id, title, description, owner_id, source, status, tags[], attributes(JSONB), created_at, updated_at, deleted_at, tenant_id

document_chunks: id, document_id, chunk_index, content, embedding(vector), embedding_provider, score_cache, metadata(JSONB), created_at, updated_at, tenant_id

objects: id, bucket, key, content_type, size_bytes, checksum, version_id, document_id, owner_id, status, metadata(JSONB), created_at, deleted_at, tenant_id

embeddings: id, source_type, source_id, embedding(vector), metadata(JSONB), created_at, tenant_id

configurations: id, config_type, config_data(JSONB), active, created_at, created_by

backups: id, type, location, started_at, completed_at, status, notes, created_by

Relationships:

  • documents → document_chunks (1-to-many)
  • documents → objects (1-to-many)
  • optional documents → embeddings
  • documents.tenant_id → tenants.id

Step 5: Object Storage Design

  • Store binary data in MinIO/S3, metadata in Postgres.
  • Stateless access via signed URLs.
  • Security, traceability, compliance.

Buckets: raw-documents, processed-text, embeddings-cache, backups, exports, temp

Object Metadata: bucket, key, content_type, size_bytes, checksum, version_id, status, metadata(JSONB)

Lifecycle: upload → signed URL → commit → DB record; download via signed URL; soft-delete with versioning

Hybrid RAG: retrieve text/chunks → optionally fetch binary object → optionally embed new uploads

Config Example:

object_store:
  provider: minio
  end...
