Abstract or die: Why AI enterprises can't afford rigid vector stacks
Vector databases (DBs), once specialist research instruments, have become widely used infrastructure in just a few years. They power today's semantic search, recommendation engines, anti-fraud measures and gen AI applications across industries. There are a deluge of options: PostgreSQL with pgvector, MySQL HeatWave, DuckDB VSS, SQLite VSS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus and several others.
The riches of choices sound like a boon to companies. But just beneath, a growing problem looms: Stack instability. New vector DBs appear each quarter, with disparate APIs, indexing schemes and performance trade-offs. Today's ideal choice may look dated or limiting tomorrow.
