Developing RAG-based GenAI applications historically required external vector or graph databases, creating friction and high costs across development, testing, and deployment. A groundbreaking open-source alternative for Java has emerged: EclipseStore.

EclipseStore takes a novel approach to data storage, allowing Java object graphs to remain directly in memory and be persisted there, making it ideally suited for Graph-RAG. Since version 4, it also features a native Java vector implementation for semantic and similarity search, enabling Vector-RAG.

Leveraging both RAG variants within a unified persistence layer empowers developers to build powerful GenAI applications entirely in Java. In this session, you will experience firsthand how impressive this purely Java-based approach can be.
