Introducing Haystack Enterprise

Today, we’re excited to announce Haystack Enterprise Edition: the support and services layer designed for teams building production AI applications on top of the Haystack open source framework.
‍

For years, Haystack has been the industry-standard open source framework for building production-ready, LLM-powered applications. It powers agents, RAG, semantic search, and multimodal AI across enterprises like Airbus, The Economist, NVIDIA, and Comcast.

But as enterprises scale GenAI in production, the stakes are getting higher. We’ve found that organizations can benefit from faster time-to-value, battle-tested best practices, and reliable access to the experts who maintain Haystack.

That’s where Haystack Enterprise Edition comes in.

What’s Inside Haystack Enterprise?

Best practice pipeline templates
Jumpstart your builds with curated and tested templates for common AI patterns:

• Lightweight RAG for rapid knowledge assistants
• Advanced RAG with hallucination filtering and prompt injection defenses
• Agentic RAG with external tool use and hybrid knowledge retrieval
• Multimodal pipelines with OCR, image analysis, and table extraction
• Multi-Agent pipelines with MCP for complex task orchestration

Enterprise Support & Engineering Access
Develop with confidence with direct access to Haystack’s core maintainers, including:

• 4 hrs/month remote technical consultation on topics ranging from Kubernetes autoscaling to use case design to custom component build
• Priority updates and early access to select features
• Email support for fast resolutions in safe secure channels 

Flexible Expansions & Upgrades
Extend your investment with optional service packages, additional consulting hours, or seamless upgrades to deepset AI Platform when you’re ready for full enterprise orchestration.

• Haystack OSS (Community Edition): 100% open source, self-supported. 
• Haystack Enterprise Edition: The power of Haystack with added enterprise pipeline and deployment templates, direct and private support, and access to additional services
• deepset AI Platform (Cloud or on-prem): A full-stack AI development toolset built on Haystack. It accelerates development speed with a visual pipeline editor, a robust library of expert templates, iterative testing tools, and centralized resources and security – with the infrastructure of your choice ready to autoscale for enterprise-wide AI orchestration.  deepset Studio is the free version of the platform you can try right away.
  
  

Together, these offerings let you start at any level and scale seamlessly, choosing the right level of support and services as your AI maturity evolves.
