We discuss the addition of backreacting D7‐branes to (fractional) D3‐brane solutions in IIB supergravity which is dual to the addition of a large number of fields in the fundamental representation to known field theories in the Veneziano limit. We specialize to D7/D3‐branes on the conifold (flavored Klebanov‐Witten theory); we then generalize to massive flavors and to the case of fractional D3‐branes and D7‐branes with gauge flux (flavored Klebanov‐Tseytlin theory). This talk is mainly based on [16, 18].
