SOLUTION BLUEPRINT
Vector Databases & High-Dimensional Semantic Indexing
Selecting the right vector database determines query latency, memory footprint, and recall accuracy for RAG applications. Compare top embedded and server-based vector stores.
📐 Architectural Requirements
- HNSW vs. IVF-PQ index algorithms and memory compression
- Hybrid keyword BM25 + dense vector semantic search filtering
- Horizontal sharding, replication, and distributed persistence
- Real-time insert throughput without search degradation
🎯 Decision & Evaluation Criteria
- Vector dimensionality capacity and index build speed
- Disk-backed vs. RAM-resident memory requirements
- Filtering flexibility for metadata payloads
