Astra DB's Genkit integration is for developers building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications with Firebase's Genkit framework.
Genkit is a toolkit for building AI-powered features in web and mobile apps. It provides a unified API for working with large language models (LLMs) as well as a local developer UI for quick experimentation and running evaluations and easy monitoring of your application in production.
Astra DB is a serverless, highly scalable vector database based on Apache Cassandra® that provides a powerful vector store to Genkit via the genkitx-astra-db extension.
Combining Genkit and Astra DB gives developers the ingredients to build scalable and accurate RAG-powered generative AI applications with easy local testing and powerful production monitoring.
Building Your Application with the Astra DB Extension for Genkit
Take a look at this tutorial that shows you how to build a Genkit flow to ingest data into Astra DB and combine other Genkit components with Astra DB to build RAG flows that answer questions based on that data.
