NOT Sharding RavenDB Vector Search

NOT Sharding RavenDB Vector Search

May 9, 2025

I ran into an interesting post, "Sharding Pgvector," in which PgDog (provider of scaling solutions for Postgres) discusses scaling pgvector indexes (HNSW and IVFFlat) across multiple machines to manage large-scale embeddings efficiently. This approach speeds up searches and improves recall by distributing vector data, addressing the limitations of…
