Open-source Vector Databases
Overview
Let’s look at some open-source vector databases in this tutorial. A vector database is a specialized database designed, to efficiently store, retrieve, and perform operations on multi-dimensional vector data.
Vectors are arrays of numeric values or other data types with fixed lengths representing points or elements in multi-dimensional space. They can be used to represent various data, such as numerical features, text or image embeddings, geographic coordinates, or any other data that can be represented as vectors.
