Vektra

Modular, open-source RAG infrastructure you deploy on your own terms.

Plug in any LLM provider, vector store, or pipeline, keep data on-premises, and extend with vertical modules like e-learning, all through configuration rather than code forks.

Who is Vektra for?

• Platform engineers / DevOps teams deploying RAG at their organization with data sovereignty requirements
• Developers building RAG-powered applications via SDKs
• Domain specialists (e.g., university e-learning teams) using vertical modules without touching infrastructure

What makes Vektra different?

Unlike RAG toolkits (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack), Vektra ships as a deployable platform:

Aspect	Toolkits	Vektra
Deployment	Build your own	docker compose up
Configuration	Code changes	YAML/environment
On-premises	DIY	First-class support
GDPR compliance	DIY	Built-in (retention, audit logs)
Vertical features	None	E-learning module included

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/vektralabs/vektra-stack.git
cd vektra-stack
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env: set VEKTRA_LLM_PROVIDER and your LLM API key
docker compose up -d
make demo

See docs/getting-started/ for the full walkthrough. Target: from clone to first RAG query in under 30 minutes.

Repository structure

Vektra uses a hybrid monorepo approach (ADR-0001):

vektra-stack/              # This repository (monorepo)
├── vektra-core/           # RAG engine, LLM abstraction
├── vektra-ingest/         # Document processing (PDF, OCR, PPT, Word)
├── vektra-index/          # Vector store abstraction, embedding
├── vektra-analytics/      # Metrics, reporting, alerting
├── vektra-learn/          # E-learning vertical (chatbot, dashboard)
├── vektra-admin/          # System administration
├── docs/                  # Documentation
└── docker-compose.yml     # Orchestration

# Separate repositories (different tech stack or deployment target)
vektra-moodle/             # Moodle LMS adapter (PHP plugin)
vektra-sdk-py/             # Python SDK (published to PyPI)
vektra-sdk-js/             # JavaScript SDK (published to npm)
