RAG & Retrieval
Vector Database
A database optimized for storing and querying high-dimensional vectors (embeddings).
In depth
A database optimized for storing and querying high-dimensional vectors (embeddings). Vector databases like Pinecone, Weaviate, and pgvector enable fast similarity search, powering RAG pipelines, semantic search, and recommendation systems at scale.
