Definition
A workflow orchestration engine used to manage the complex, multi-stage pipelines inherent in RAG, such as periodic data ingestion, embedding generation, and vector database synchronization. It provides the control plane for scheduling, failure handling, and observability, ensuring that agentic workflows remain resilient despite intermittent API or infrastructure failures.
Orchestrates the data flow and infrastructure, whereas LangGraph orchestrates the LLM's reasoning logic.
