Document Ingestion Pipeline
Build a document ingestion pipeline for Markdown and PDF documents with chunking strategies, metadata extraction, and vector storage.
Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you to build a complete document ingestion pipeline.
You'll learn to:
- Create document loaders for Markdown and text files
- Implement recursive and markdown-aware chunking strategies
- Extract metadata from document structure
- Embed and store chunks in Chroma vector database
This lab connects to the vector database you deployed previously.
