haystack cookbook
Basic Information
This repository is a curated collection of example notebooks that demonstrate how to use the Haystack framework. It serves as a cookbook of small, focused demos that show how to integrate different model providers, vector databases, retrieval techniques and experimental features with Haystack. The notebooks illustrate concrete usage patterns and configuration examples so readers can see practical implementations rather than abstract descriptions. The README highlights that these examples are intended as guidelines and points contributors and users to core Haystack documentation, tutorials and blog posts for deeper explanations. The repo is organized to make it easy to browse examples and learn by experimentation.

App Details
Features
A set of ready-to-run example notebooks stored in a notebooks folder that showcase specific Haystack use cases. Examples cover multiple model providers, various vector databases and retrieval techniques, plus demonstrations of new or experimental Haystack features which are flagged in index.toml. Contribution support includes an index.toml for metadata, naming conventions for notebooks, and a workflow for submitting PRs. The repository emphasizes small, focused demos rather than full applications, enabling quick experimentation and clear examples of how to wire components together within Haystack.
Use Cases
The cookbook helps developers and practitioners learn Haystack by example, offering practical, runnable notebooks that reduce setup effort and accelerate prototyping. Users can copy patterns for integrating models, setting up vector stores, and building retrieval pipelines, which shortens the learning curve compared to reading only documentation. The examples are useful as templates for experiments, teaching material, or starting points for production projects. The contribution guidelines make it simple to add new examples, keeping the collection current with new providers and experimental features, and fostering a community-driven set of practical recipes.
