What started as a terminal script became a full-stack, Dockerized, multimodal AI application. Built live on stream.
The final architecture: FastAPI backend, React 19 frontend, Weaviate vector DB, all orchestrated with a single "docker-compose up --build".
The real upgrades:
True multimodal. PDF, images, video, audio, all indexed and queryable through one interface.
Async everywhere. Background tasks handle heavy embedding. The UI stays responsive. No blocking.
Production-grade frontend. Glassmorphic React dashboard with real-time polling and markdown-rendered AI responses.
One-click deployment. Docker handles networking, volume mapping, and environment injection across all three services.
From a "while True" loop in a terminal to a cloud-ready, TDD-compliant full-stack product. Three iterations.
