All you need to know about Google Vertex AI Vector Search
The good and the bad stuff, no seriously, just a deep dive into the product
Vertex AI Vector Search previously known as Matching Engine.
Putting a similarity index into production at scale is a pretty hard challenge. It requires a whole bunch of infrastructure working closely together. You need to handle a large amount of data at low latency. It introduces you to topics like sharding, hashing, trees, load balancing, efficient data transfer, data replication, and much more.
That is nothing you want your team to work on. Rather use a well-implemented service like Google's Vertex AI Vector Search.
