Mar 1, 2025

March 2025 monthly summary focused on architecture decision and edge PoC readiness for offline RAG on edge. Delivered formal Architecture Decision Record (ADR) evaluating vector databases (ChromaDB, Qdrant, FAISS) for offline support, resource usage, and performance; concluded ChromaDB is suitable for the current PoC. PR 148 merged to codify the ADR and vector DB strategy for the offline embedded edge system. This work reduces PoC risk, clarifies technology direction, and sets the foundation for subsequent integration work in the Edge AI platform.
