FinSight-AI

FinSight-AI is a Spring Boot-based equity research agent that combines RAG, workflow orchestration, and evidence tracing to generate versioned AI reports on company financials. It demonstrates production infrastructure patterns—idempotent task submission, Redis Lua leasing, pgvector retrieval, and RAG evaluation—rather than just wrapping an LLM call.

What FinSight-AI is

Java 17 backend using Spring Boot 3.3, PostgreSQL/pgvector for hybrid retrieval, Redis for distributed leasing, RabbitMQ for async workflows, and a FastAPI sidecar for embeddings and parsing. Implements report caching tied to data snapshots, evidence traceability, and structured RAG quality metrics.

Best use cases

Production RAG infrastructure reference

Learn idempotent task design, Redis Lua single-flight leases, fencing tokens, and evidence traceability—patterns often missing from RAG tutorials but critical for reliability at scale.

Financial intelligence platform foundation

Ingest documents, compute metrics, perform hybrid search, and cache versioned reports tied to data snapshots, suitable for institutional research tools that require audit trails and reasoning transparency.

Interview and hiring reference

Well-documented system design spanning concurrency control, failure recovery, workflow state machines, and evaluation metrics—demonstrates backend engineering depth beyond single-prompt chatbots.

Implementation considerations

Ensure Java 17+ and Docker/Docker Compose are available; the full stack (Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, FastAPI, Spring Boot) consumes significant local resources.
Integrate real financial data sources (SEC filings, market quotes, research APIs) and configure LLM or Ollama endpoints; defaults use rule-based fallback.
Customize domain models, workflow stages, and RAG evaluation metrics to match your financial domain and reporting requirements.
Implement operational monitoring, alerting, and dead-letter queue handling for long-running workflows in production.
Plan for evidence storage, versioning, and compliance logging if used in regulated environments requiring audit trails.

When to avoid it — and what to weigh

Need immediate production deployment without customization — Project is intentionally backend-heavy and focused on patterns; deployment, data pipeline setup, LLM integration, and operational monitoring require substantial engineering effort.
Building a simple Q&A chatbot — The architecture and infrastructure overhead (RabbitMQ, pgvector, Redis Lua, workflow orchestration) is disproportionate for lightweight conversational AI use cases.
Require turnkey financial data integration — Uses deterministic fallback data for offline demos; real market data, SEC filing APIs, and quote services must be integrated separately—not included out of the box.
Cannot run Docker or multi-service stacks locally — Full stack requires Docker Compose, 8+ GB RAM, and coordination of PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, FastAPI, and backend. Lighter in-memory mode available but loses workflow durability.

License & commercial use

MIT License (OSI-approved, permissive). Allows commercial use, modification, and distribution with attribution. No copyleft obligations.

MIT is a permissive OSI license permitting commercial use. However, the system is a reference architecture with embedded demo data and fallback logic. Production deployment requires substantial integration work (financial data, LLM endpoints, operational tooling) and does not constitute a ready-to-deploy commercial product. Consult legal review if integrating third-party components or data sources with different licensing terms.

Security considerations

Evaluate: fencing token implementation in Redis Lua leases (prevents concurrent task execution); RBAC and authentication mechanisms not detailed in provided data. Default local credentials hardcoded in docker-compose.yml (finsight/finsight). Sensitive financial data (filings, company events) requires encryption at rest, TLS in transit, and audit logging. No claim of formal security audit or penetration test results is stated. Review code for SQL injection (pgvector JSONB queries), LLM prompt injection, and credential exposure in logs before production deployment.

Alternatives to consider

LlamaIndex + LangChain with FastAPI

Lighter-weight RAG frameworks; easier entry point for simple retrieval pipelines. Trade-off: less emphasis on infrastructure patterns, idempotency, and failure recovery.

Semantic Kernel or Microsoft Copilot Stack

Enterprise-backed orchestration and multi-model support. Trade-off: less transparency into workflow state machines and evidence traceability; steeper licensing and vendor lock-in.

Temporal.io for workflow orchestration

Specialized distributed workflow engine with durability, visibility, and retry semantics. Trade-off: separate service dependency; overkill for lightweight RAG but superior for complex agent pipelines.

FinSight-AI FAQ

Can I use this in production immediately?

No. It is a reference architecture demonstrating patterns. Requires integration of real financial data, LLM endpoints, operational monitoring, secrets management, and customization for your domain and compliance needs.

What if I don't have Docker or can't run the full stack?

A lightweight in-memory backend mode is available via `mvn spring-boot:run` without external services, but you lose async workflows, durable task state, and distributed caching. Suitable for learning and local development only.

How does the RAG evaluation work?

Tracks hit rate (relevance of retrieved chunks), evidence coverage (whether answers cite sources), hallucination risk, and latency. Metrics are computed against regression test cases and stored for trend analysis; actual evaluation logic customizable.

Can I swap RabbitMQ or PostgreSQL for other databases?

Possible but requires code changes. The architecture is tightly integrated with Spring Data JPA (PostgreSQL), Spring AMQP (RabbitMQ), and Redis. Alternative implementations would need repository and messaging layer rewrites.
