Platforms We Work With

We help you choose the right vector database for your use case, then optimize it for production.

Managed

Pinecone

Fully managed, serverless. Best for fast time-to-production with minimal ops overhead.

Open Source

Weaviate

GraphQL-native with built-in vectorization modules. Great for multi-modal search.

Open Source

Qdrant

Rust-based, high performance. Excellent filtering and payload storage capabilities.

Embedded

ChromaDB

Lightweight, developer-friendly. Ideal for prototyping and smaller-scale applications.

Extension

pgvector

PostgreSQL extension. Perfect if you want vector search alongside your existing relational data.

What We Deliver

Schema Design

Optimal collection structure, metadata schemas, and index configuration tuned for your query patterns and data characteristics.

Indexing Strategy

HNSW vs IVF vs flat index selection. Embedding model choice, chunking strategy, and batch ingestion pipelines for millions of documents.

Query Optimization

Latency profiling, query rewriting, metadata pre-filtering, and caching layers. Sub-50ms queries at scale.

Hybrid Search

Combine vector similarity with keyword (BM25) search for superior recall. Reciprocal rank fusion and re-ranking pipelines.

Production Scaling

Sharding strategy, replica configuration, auto-scaling, and cost optimization. Handle growth without rebuilding.

Monitoring & Ops

Query performance dashboards, index drift detection, embedding freshness monitoring, and alerting for production systems.

Our Process

1

Discovery & Platform Selection

Analyze your data, query patterns, scale requirements, and existing infrastructure to recommend the optimal vector database platform.

2

Schema & Index Design

Design collection schemas, choose embedding models, define chunking strategies, and configure indexes for your specific access patterns.

3

Build Ingestion Pipeline

Create robust data pipelines that extract, chunk, embed, and load your documents. Incremental updates, deduplication, and error recovery included.

4

Query Layer & Optimization

Build the search API with hybrid search, filtering, re-ranking, and caching. Load test until queries meet latency targets under production traffic.

5

Deploy & Monitor

Production deployment with monitoring dashboards, alerting, backup strategy, and scaling configuration. Handoff with full documentation.

Who This Is For

Building a RAG System

You need a vector database as the retrieval backbone for your RAG pipeline. We’ll design it so your AI gives accurate, sourced answers from your documents.

Scaling Semantic Search

Your product needs semantic search across millions of items — products, articles, tickets, or documents. We’ll build search that understands intent, not just keywords.

Migrating Platforms

Outgrowing ChromaDB or hitting Pinecone cost limits. We’ll plan and execute your migration to the right platform without downtime.

Optimizing Performance

Queries are too slow, recall is too low, or costs are too high. We’ll profile, tune, and optimize your existing vector database deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which vector database should I use?
It depends on your scale, budget, and existing stack. Pinecone for fastest time-to-production with managed ops. pgvector if you’re already on PostgreSQL and don’t want another service. Qdrant or Weaviate for self-hosted control with advanced filtering. We’ll recommend the best fit during discovery.
How many vectors can you handle?
We’ve built systems handling 10M+ vectors with sub-50ms query latency. With proper sharding and index configuration, modern vector databases can scale to hundreds of millions of vectors. We’ll design your architecture to handle your current needs with a clear path to 10x growth.
Do I need a separate vector database, or can I use pgvector?
pgvector is excellent for up to ~1M vectors and simpler use cases. Beyond that, or if you need advanced features like hybrid search, multi-tenancy, or real-time updates, a dedicated vector database is worth the operational overhead. We’ll benchmark both options with your data.
What embedding models do you recommend?
For general-purpose English text: OpenAI text-embedding-3-large or Cohere embed-v3. For multilingual: multilingual-e5-large. For domain-specific needs: we can fine-tune embeddings on your data. Model choice impacts both quality and cost — we’ll test multiple options against your queries.
