I have a few projects I'd like to work on. For typical web projects, I have a "go to" stack and I'd like to add something sensible for vector based search to that.
- StrauXX 2y agoIn my experience its usually easiest to use a vector store extension for an off-the-shelf database like postgres (pgvector is nice). That way you don't have to manage another, rapidly changing, service and you can easily combine queries on the vectors with regular columns, join them and so on.
- jbellis 2y agoJVector (the index used in TFA) is available as a service with a friendly API from DataStax. https://www.datastax.com/products/datastax-astra https://www.datastax.com/products/datastax-astra [article author, I work on JVector and Astra]
- noufalibrahim 2y agoNice. I wanted to try something out on a machine before moving to hosted soclutions.
- riku_iki 2y agoCould you tell how scalable JVector is? How many vectors it can handle, like millions, billions, hundreds of billions?
