How many of you have been in a meeting where someone said, "We should use a vector database for this!" and everyone nodded, but you wondered... should we really?
If this is you, then join me on October 13th at the @allthingsopen.bsky.social conference.

LLMs' fanciness and increasing intelligence don't change the reality—ultimately, they're just API calls. As such, they suffer from the same problems as API calls, such as throttling, timeouts, and exponential delays. 🔌 ⚡️
➡️ But you can use clever ways to make LLM calls faster.

You may have seen the multiple variants of the Jet2 Holiday Meme at this point, right? Well, me too. I've watched so much that I've decided to do something useful with it.

My take on this photo that is circulating out there:
Replace the term "Data Engineer" for "Big Data Engineer" and everything else pretty much remains the same from 15 years ago. A couple of new technologies here in there—but nothing really disruptive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you know who else loves to gossip? #Redis!
Redis uses a combination of gossip protocol and distributed lock mechanisms to manage cluster state and node interactions. It provides a scalable and reliable foundation for vector search applications.

"Redis is the fastest vector database, but my dataset is large and I don't want to use big machines with lots of RAM as it is expensive, or having to shard my data with clustering."
Fair enough. That's why for use cases like this you should use Redis Flex.
