While both Databases and Search Systems operate in the same domain (storing, indexing and querying data), they prioritized different aspects. OLTP Databases prioritized Search Systems prioritized AI and Agents are...

Introduction In the first part of our series on Azure Cosmos DB Vector Search with DiskANN, we explored the fundamentals of vector indexing and search capabilities using Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL and demonstrated a few early performance and cost characteristics. In Part 2, we’ll demonstrate how to scale to 1 billion vector datasets, while maintain...

Vector Search with Azure Cosmos DB Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL features advanced vector indexing and search capabilities powered by DiskANN, a suite of highly scalable, accurate, and cost-effective approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) algorithms for low-latency vector search at any scale. Azure Cosmos DB features key capabilities important for building...
