+# RAG backend
+
+The RAG backend provides the chat and retrieval API for the template. It uses
+the shared RAG libraries to connect uploaded content, embeddings, vector
+storage, and language model calls.
+
+# Requirements
+
+All required Python libraries can be found in the [pyproject.toml](pyproject.toml)
+file. The backend ships its own `Dockerfile` and `Dockerfile.dev` and depends on
+the [rag-core-api](../../libs/rag-core-api/) and
+[rag-core-lib](../../libs/rag-core-lib/) packages.
+
+# Deployment
+
+A detailed explanation of the deployment can be found in the
+[project README](../../README.md). The Helm chart used for deployment is in the
+[infrastructure directory](../../infrastructure/).
