A Vector DB Is A Vector DB, Right?
The CTO Advisor, Thursday, October 9th, 2025
Does it really matter if I'm using Search AI, Vertex Vector DB, WatsonX Discovery, or an open-source vector database for my RAG pipeline?
That's the kind of question I love - it sounds simple, but the answer cuts right into the heart of enterprise AI architecture.
The short answer: No, a vector DB isn't just a vector DB. The choice absolutely matters. Thinking they're all interchangeable is a trap.
