Interesting project! Reminds me of Astra DB who just worked with Wikimedia to vectorize Wikipedia: https://blog.wikimedia.de/2024/09/17/wikidata-and-artificial...
Nice work on the open source approach! Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

I see many 3rd party deps, integrations for verba(first stumbling on this rag chat+frontend)
Can you give the stack that is suited well for completely self hosting piazza? Will search for those env and docs accordingly

OP here, are you asking about hardware or cloud instance type ?
I would recommend using GPUs at least to initialise the DB. You need a lot of compute once at the start to vectorize all the data, and then regularly (but less intensely) to sync the updated changes.
You can check out the Weaviate docs here if you want more info : https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate
Demo doesn’t appear to be working
I'm not sure if I'd call RAG an "advanced technique"...
Might want to find a new name. Piazza (https://piazza.com) is a very popular classroom Q&A and wiki platform.
We used Verba, Weaviate and Docker for deployment
We'd like to have some feedback on how to continue the project, which data sources would be interesting to vectorize. You can give feedback on our landing page http://piazza.tech Please leave a star !
