How I Architected a Multi-Provider Fallback for Local RAG

Short summary

Multi-provider fallback architecture for local RAG using Ollama solves reliability issues when local compute resources are unavailable or slow. Author shares lessons learned with a reference GitHub implementation.

  • Local LLM inference via Ollama improves privacy but introduces compute reliability bottlenecks
  • Multi-provider fallback pattern enables graceful degradation when local resources unavailable
  • Complete implementation available on GitHub with lessons learned
