Mind map of the LLM application stack showing Embeddings, Vector Stores, Orchestration, and Inference layers.

What it shows

  • Embeddings translate documents into vectors stored in high-speed databases.
  • Orchestrators coordinate multi-step prompt chains, memory, and tool calls.
  • Hybrid search combines dense vector similarity with sparse keyword BM25.

The takeaway

A production LLM system is 10% model prompting and 90% data retrieval and tooling.
