This writeup is very informative. Learned about few OSS frameworks that I was not aware of. Amazing engineering work. Kudos to you all.

This article does a good job of describing hard problems with ANN search and how different algorithms solve or don't solve. https://dzone.com/articles/5-hard-problems-in-vector-search-...

Initially I thought we need a dedicated vector database but as we tried to build even a simple gen-ai applicaitons we realized that we need another "regular" database to build a complete application.

Instead with DataStax's Vector Search, we designed a document style API and corresponding clients that give you a Vector Native experience to do CRUD of vector and meta-data as well CRUD of other data models. Here is one client ref for example https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra/astra-db-vector/clients/p...

We will be publishing the github repo in the next couple of weeks. As you can imagine this is happening in real time and we want to cross check few things before we publish the repo.

I will reply to this thread once that has happened.

Thank you.

Nice. What kind of agents are you building? I am especially interested in your data requirements.

You can totally do this in Cassandra. See https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra-serverless/docs/vector-se...

This is interesting because it does not mention Vector database powered by Apache Cassandra or the hosted serverless version DataStax Astra. Here is write up we did on 5 hard problems in Vector database and how we solved them. https://thenewstack.io/5-hard-problems-in-vector-search-and-...

In full transparency: I work for DataStatx and lead engineering for Vector database.

There is a great write up by Jonathan Ellis, Apache Cassandra committer and DataStax co-founder on hard problems with Vector Search. https://thenewstack.io/5-hard-problems-in-vector-search-and-...
