Blueprint #01 Real-Time AI

Change Data Capture (CDC) to Vector Index

Automatically keeps vector database indices synchronized with transactional database updates (inserts, updates, deletes) in sub-5 seconds without periodic batch re-indexing.

Key Specifications

  • Source: PostgreSQL Write-Ahead Log (WAL) via Debezium
  • Stream Transport: Apache Kafka / Redpanda partitioned by Primary Key
  • Worker Layer: Stateless Python/FastAPI async workers with Dead-Letter Queues (DLQ)
  • Vector Target: Qdrant / pgvector with HNSW indexed vectors

Blueprint #02 Open Lakehouse

Decoupled Iceberg Lakehouse Architecture

Stores data in open Parquet files governed by Apache Iceberg metadata on AWS S3 or scalable object storage. Enables dual query compute engines: Snowflake for heavy BI queries and DuckDB for lightweight local/API analytics.

Key Specifications

  • Storage: S3 / Object Storage (zero egress fees)
  • Catalog: Apache Polaris / REST Catalog protocol
  • Transformation: dbt-core with SQLMesh / PyIceberg
  • Query Engines: Snowflake External Tables + DuckDB in-process

Blueprint #03 Multi-Agent System

Multi-Agent Data Analyst with Self-Correction

An autonomous LangGraph supervisory network where specialized agents generate SQL, execute in sandboxed read-only replicas, chart results, and critique answers before presentation.

Key Specifications

  • Supervisor: Central LangGraph router managing shared state
  • SQL Generator: Schema-aware agent with catalog schema injection
  • Sandbox Execution: Read-only database connection with strict timeouts
  • Quality Critic: Reflection agent validating against original query
