+# What is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)?


This section is fine, but can probably be simplified. We can assume readers know what RAG is and dont need to be educated on it.

+only retrieval pattern that can be useful. In fact, standard entity-based retrieval can be very powerful for 
+applications where relevant user-context is necessary.
+
+# How does that relate to Feast?


I'd add a section on how RAG falls apart today with only a vector store and no feature store.

+# How does that relate to Feast?
+Feast is focused on supporting the lifecycle of data for AI/ML applications. Feast was built to support the
+offline training, online serving, and metadata management so that users can successfully scale their production AI


very hand wavy "scale" -> I'd make it more clear what Feast helps with specifically.

I kind of want to balance brevity and Feast semantics (it's not always obvious to non-Feast users what an offline vs online store is). I'll try to clarify.

I'd spell out what the user should be getting. "Here's an example of using Feast to do X Y and Z. Milvus provides B, while Feast makes it easier to do A"
