Most Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) tutorials start with a framework like LangChain - but what if you could build leaner, faster apps using just Python? In this online session, we’ll show you the fundamentals and how to simplify the complexity of traditional AI toolchains. You’ll learn how to build production-ready RAG applications using only Python, SurrealDB, and Streamlit - no framework required. In this session, we’ll walk through: - Why it's good to learn the fundamentals in pure Python before using a framework - How to manage multi-model data using SurrealDB - Building a front end for your RAG app with Streamlit You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for building RAG apps - and a fully working example you can adapt for your own use cases. ## In this session you'll learn 1. The benefits of learning RAG fundamentals in pure Python before jumping into frameworks 2. Managing multi-model data effectively with SurrealDB 3. Creating interactive frontends for RAG applications using Streamlit THE PLATFORM ## Everything an application and its agents know. Five surfaces, one engine. Database Document, graph, vector, time-series and relational in one engine. ![Five data models as dotted tiles: documents, graph, vector, time-series and relational](https://surrealdb.com/assets/static/platform-database.DUdumYDz.avif) Read more [Database](https://surrealdb.com/surrealdb) Agent Memory What an agent learns, with its source and its time, in the same engine. ![A timeline of remembered facts, each with its source](https://surrealdb.com/assets/static/platform-agent-memory.Cvv8D5Wl.avif) Read more [Agent Memory](https://surrealdb.com/agent-memory) Cloud Managed clusters in the regions you choose, scaled on demand. ![Clusters in three regions on a world map, each running or scaling](https://surrealdb.com/assets/static/platform-cloud.--QZnaVi.avif) Read more [Cloud](https://surrealdb.com/cloud) Studio Query, explore and design the schema from the browser. ![A SurrealQL query in Studio and the schema graph under it](https://surrealdb.com/assets/static/platform-studio.7ykBFNLq.avif) Read more [Studio](https://surrealdb.com/studio) MCP Every model that speaks MCP reaches the database and the memory directly. ![Three models connected through MCP to the database and Agent Memory](https://surrealdb.com/assets/static/platform-mcp.D_oH0_wm.avif) Read more [MCP](https://surrealdb.com/mcp) IN PRODUCTION ## Trusted at scale. Samsung, Nvidia, Verizon, Tencent, and Walmart run on SurrealDB. 14,000+ Developers building on SurrealDB Cloud 4M+ Developers building on SurrealDB worldwide FROM THE TEAMS > SurrealDB gives us a foundation where we can unify semantic search, knowledge graphs, and AI-driven decision making without stitching together multiple systems. Collapsing responsibility into SurrealDB has become our default engineering posture. *Justin Foley* VP of Engineering, Later GET STARTED ## Start building with SurrealDB.
