Build Scalable Multi-Agent RAG with A2A, Oracle AI

DEV Community •

A new tutorial demonstrates building a distributed multi-agent RAG system using the Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol to solve scalability issues. By integrating Oracle AI Database 26ai for vector storage and LangChain for orchestration, developers can create a loosely coupled architecture. This approach allows agents like planners and researchers to communicate independently, reducing latency and improving fault isolation in high-load production environments.

The system processes PDFs, websites, and repositories using tools like Docling and Trafilatura, storing embeddings in Oracle's vector collections. Ollama provides local LLMs, such as gemma3:270m, while LangChain's RetrievalQA chains handle query routing. This setup moves beyond monolithic RAG pipelines, enabling flexible agent deployment where specific agents can be scaled or swapped without disrupting the entire workflow.

Deployment involves an A2A server for agent discovery and a Gradio UI for user interaction. The tutorial highlights practical benefits like operational clarity and fault isolation, where a crashed researcher agent doesn't halt the pipeline. Future roadmap items include custom agent creation and fully decoupled agent workflows, aiming for more parallel, independent task processing.
