**This PR changes configurations in a backward incompatible way.**
Run configs today repeat full SQLite/Postgres snippets everywhere a
store is needed, which means duplicated credentials, extra connection
pools, and lots of drift between files. This PR introduces named storage
backends so the stack and providers can share a single catalog and
reference those backends by name.
## Key Changes
- Add `storage.backends` to `StackRunConfig`, register each KV/SQL
backend once at startup, and validate that references point to the right
family.
- Move server stores under `storage.stores` with lightweight references
(backend + namespace/table) instead of full configs.
- Update every provider/config/doc to use the new reference style;
docs/codegen now surface the simplified YAML.
## Migration
Before:
```yaml
metadata_store:
type: sqlite
db_path: ~/.llama/distributions/foo/registry.db
inference_store:
type: postgres
host: ${env.POSTGRES_HOST}
port: ${env.POSTGRES_PORT}
db: ${env.POSTGRES_DB}
user: ${env.POSTGRES_USER}
password: ${env.POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
conversations_store:
type: postgres
host: ${env.POSTGRES_HOST}
port: ${env.POSTGRES_PORT}
db: ${env.POSTGRES_DB}
user: ${env.POSTGRES_USER}
password: ${env.POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
```
After:
```yaml
storage:
backends:
kv_default:
type: kv_sqlite
db_path: ~/.llama/distributions/foo/kvstore.db
sql_default:
type: sql_postgres
host: ${env.POSTGRES_HOST}
port: ${env.POSTGRES_PORT}
db: ${env.POSTGRES_DB}
user: ${env.POSTGRES_USER}
password: ${env.POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
stores:
metadata:
backend: kv_default
namespace: registry
inference:
backend: sql_default
table_name: inference_store
max_write_queue_size: 10000
num_writers: 4
conversations:
backend: sql_default
table_name: openai_conversations
```
Provider configs follow the same pattern—for example, a Chroma vector
adapter switches from:
```yaml
providers:
vector_io:
- provider_id: chromadb
provider_type: remote::chromadb
config:
url: ${env.CHROMADB_URL}
kvstore:
type: sqlite
db_path: ~/.llama/distributions/foo/chroma.db
```
to:
```yaml
providers:
vector_io:
- provider_id: chromadb
provider_type: remote::chromadb
config:
url: ${env.CHROMADB_URL}
persistence:
backend: kv_default
namespace: vector_io::chroma_remote
```
Once the backends are declared, everything else just points at them, so
rotating credentials or swapping to Postgres happens in one place and
the stack reuses a single connection pool.
# What does this PR do?
<!-- Provide a short summary of what this PR does and why. Link to
relevant issues if applicable. -->
The purpose of this PR is to replace the Llama Stack's default embedding
model by nomic-embed-text-v1.5.
These are the key reasons why Llama Stack community decided to switch
from all-MiniLM-L6-v2 to nomic-embed-text-v1.5:
1. The training data for
[all-MiniLM-L6-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2#training-data)
includes a lot of data sets with various licensing terms, so it is
tricky to know when/whether it is appropriate to use this model for
commercial applications.
2. The model is not particularly competitive on major benchmarks. For
example, if you look at the [MTEB
Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard) and click
on Miscellaneous/BEIR to see English information retrieval accuracy, you
see that the top of the leaderboard is dominated by enormous models but
also that there are many, many models of relatively modest size whith
much higher Retrieval scores. If you want to look closely at the data, I
recommend clicking "Download Table" because it is easier to browse that
way.

# What does this PR do?
- Mostly AI-generated scripts to run guidellm
(https://github.com/vllm-project/guidellm) benchmarks on k8s setup
- Stack is using image built from main on 9/11
## Test Plan
See updated README.md
# What does this PR do?
As shown in #3421, we can scale stack to handle more RPS with k8s
replicas. This PR enables multi process stack with uvicorn --workers so
that we can achieve the same scaling without being in k8s.
To achieve that we refactor main to split out the app construction
logic. This method needs to be non-async. We created a new `Stack` class
to house impls and have a `start()` method to be called in lifespan to
start background tasks instead of starting them in the old
`construct_stack`. This way we avoid having to manage an event loop
manually.
## Test Plan
