# Build Production-Ready RAG Applications

RAG applications succeed or fail on retrieval. When models hallucinate, the problem is almost always missing or low-quality context. LanceDB is the retrieval layer for fast, accurate RAG with native hybrid search and multimodal support.

# The Power of the Lance Format

##### Vector Search
- Fast scans and random access from the same table — no tradeoff  
- Zero-copy access for high throughput without serialization overhead

##### Multi-Modal
- Raw data, embeddings, and metadata in one table — not pointers to blob storage  
- No separate metadata store to keep in sync

## Enterprise-Grade Requirements

### Security
Granular RBAC, SSO integration, and VPC deployment options.

### Governance
Data versioning and time-travel capabilities for auditability.

### Support
Dedicated technical account management and guaranteed SLAs.

### Talk to Engineering
Or try LanceDB OSS — same code, scales to Cloud.
