Cake for Enterprise RAG
Securely index, retrieve, and inject internal context into LLMs with a scalable, cloud-agnostic, composable, and compliance-ready RAG stack built on open source.






Overview
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) gives LLMs real context for better answers. But at the enterprise level, the context is massive, fragmented, and access-restricted. Moving beyond demos requires production-grade ingestion, fine-tuned access controls, and traceable responses you can defend in audits.
Cake gives you the full RAG stack: ingest data from S3, SaaS APIs, or SQL; chunk, embed, and store it in performant vector DBs like Weaviate; and orchestrate retrieval pipelines with open tooling like LangChain and LlamaIndex. Everything is cloud-agnostic, composable, and auditable for real-world enterprises.
From regulated industries to internal knowledge management, Cake makes it easy to move from pilot to production without duct tape, vendor lock-in, or surprise costs.
Key benefits
-
Deploy faster without vendor lock-in: Use open-source components and Cake’s orchestration to build quickly and own your stack. Cake ensures the stack stays up-to-date with the latest technologies, giving you the best-in-class performance.
-
Secure your data: Apply fine-grained access controls, data masking, and audit-ready workflows by default.
-
Adapt as you scale: Integrate with any data source or environment using a fully composable RAG stack.
-
Improve performance over time: Monitor retrieval quality, identify gaps, and continuously fine-tune models and prompts for better results.
-
Support real-time and batch use cases: Run low-latency RAG for chat and decision support, or schedule document processing and summarization workflows at scale.
EXAMPLE USE CASES
Composable RAG workflows built
on your terms with Cake
Internal knowledge search
Empower employees with natural-language access to internal docs, wikis, policies, and support materials.
Customer support intelligence
Retrieve relevant product guides, contracts, and CRM records to assist support reps or fine-tune AI responses.
Regulated industry applications
Provide grounded answers in finance, legal, or healthcare, with full traceability and data controls.
AI assistants for employee workflows
Equip teams with agents that can answer questions, complete tasks, or generate content using internal knowledge, streamlining day-to-day operations.
Contract and policy analysis
Allow legal and compliance teams to search and summarize terms, clauses, or obligations across thousands of documents instantly.
Enterprise-wide search augmentation
Upgrade traditional search portals with AI-assisted answers grounded in real-time data from SharePoint, Confluence, Notion, and more.
THE CAKE DIFFERENCE
From quick demos to production-grade
RAG systems
Prototype RAG
Fast to build, but not built to last: Notebook-level demos with hardcoded prompts and limited observability.
- Hardcoded prompts and simple query-to-response loops
- No access control, data isolation, or audit trails
- Fails to scale across teams, tools, or data domains
- No built-in evals or cost monitoring to improve over time
Result:
Works in a demo, breaks in enterprise environments
Enterprise RAG with Cake
Secure, scalable, and observable by design: Cake gives you a modular stack to deploy goal-driven RAG systems across your org.
- Deploy with access control, logging, and full traceability
- Integrate structured and unstructured data sources
- Run evals, tune retrieval logic, and monitor cost and latency
- Scale across teams with multi-tenant pipelines and reusable workflows
Result:
Production-grade RAG with enterprise security, governance, and performance

Frequently asked questions
What is Enterprise RAG?
Enterprise RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) combines large language models with your proprietary data to generate accurate, context-aware responses. Cake lets you build these systems with full control over orchestration, retrieval, inference, and compliance.
How does Cake support enterprise-grade RAG?
Cake provides a modular open-source stack for building RAG systems. You can connect to your preferred tools for retrieval, orchestration, and model inference, while keeping everything secure, observable, and production-ready.
Can I use my own vector store or model with Cake?
Yes. You can bring your own vector store (like Milvus, Weaviate, or pgvector) and run inference through LiteLLM, vLLM, or any custom or proprietary endpoint.
What kind of RAG use cases can I build with Cake?
Teams use Cake to power real-time agents, document summarization tools, contract analysis pipelines, customer support assistants, and more. Cake supports both live and scheduled RAG workflows.
How does Cake handle security and compliance for RAG?
All workloads run inside your environment with no data egress. Cake supports HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and lets you apply fine-grained access controls, redaction, and full audit logging across the stack.
