Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you need a deployable Azure RAG chat application with per-user database separation, or want to adapt the Azure Chat Solution Accelerator to use Neon for chat storage and search.
Who it is for
- Organizations building a private, multi-user document-chat application in Azure.
- Developers adapting the Azure Chat Solution Accelerator to use Neon Serverless Postgres.
Documented uses
- Deploy a private chat tenant in an Azure subscription.
- Let users ask questions about documents such as PDFs.
- Keep chat data separated by user with dedicated Neon databases.
- Store chat threads, messages, and metadata and support search.
Requirements & limits
- The project is a deployable application, so Azure and Neon services must be configured for the intended deployment.
- The documented local-development prerequisites include a Neon account, a Neon API key, and Azure OpenAI configuration for AI chat.
- The README says deployment costs depend on region and usage.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare a local development setup
Configure and start the application locally for development.
Before you start
- A Neon account
- Azure OpenAI service configuration for the AI chat feature
- A Neon API key
Steps
Clone or fork the repository and change into its src directory.
Rename .env.example to .env.local and populate the environment variables.
Create a Neon API key and set it as NEON_API_KEY in .env.local.
Install packages with npm install, then start the app with npm run dev.
Expected outcome
The development server starts; the README says a new Neon database is created for each new user.
Guide limitations
- An identity provider is not required for local development; configuring one is optional.
- The README identifies Azure OpenAI configuration as necessary to test the AI chat feature.
