Architecture Overview

D-chat's architecture is designed for scalability, security, and performance:

1. Data Collection

   • Utilizes Selenium, BeautifulSoup (BSoup), and Python for web scraping
   • Targets USDA data sources for agricultural insights
   • Processes and prepares data for decentralized storage

2. Decentralized Storage

   • Implements Pinata IPFS for data pinning and decentralized storage
   • Ensures data availability and integrity

3. AWS Infrastructure

   • EC2 Instances: Host the main application components
   • Frontend:
     • Built with Next.js and React
     • Containerized using Docker for consistency and easy deployment
   • Backend:
     • Implemented in Python
     • Dockerized for scalability and isolation
   • Amazon Bedrock: Provides AI/ML capabilities
   • Claude AI: Integrated for advanced natural language processing
   • Amazon S3: Used for additional storage needs and data backups

4. Knowledge Base

   • Stores and manages RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) data
   • Enhances chat capabilities with context-aware responses
