How do we deploy and index embeddings at scale?

Efficient vector search powers many AI apps.
Matei Zaharia

How It Works:

Store embedding vectors in a vector database (like Faiss or Pinecone), build indexes (e.g., HNSW), and expose search APIs for real-time similarity queries.

Key Benefits:

  • Millisecond retrieval times
  • Scalable to millions of vectors
  • Supports dynamic updates

Real-World Use Cases:

  • Personalized content feeds
  • Real-time anomaly detection
