Enterprises Adopt Context-Augmented Generation For RAG

On April 2, 2026, the article presents Context-Augmented Generation (CAG) as an architectural extension to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) that explicitly assembles runtime context—user identity, session state, and policy constraints—before retrieval and LLM invocation. It demonstrates how Java teams can implement CAG with Spring Boot to improve traceability, multitenant governance, and reproducibility without retraining models or changing retrieval infrastructure.
