APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Vector Database
Vector databases store numerical vector representations and retrieve records according to similarity.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Vector dimensions, distance metric, index configuration and update behaviour affect results. Approximate search trades resource use against retrieval accuracy. Database retrieval and the correctness of a generated answer are separate functions.
What turns activity into demand
An index is useful when it returns relevant records within the required latency. Vector count alone cannot describe that result. Separate embedding generation, vector storage, search requests and downstream language-model use. Stored vectors are not unique paying users.
The commercial boundary
Separate embedding generation, vector storage, search requests and downstream language-model use. Stored vectors are not unique paying users.
