Thanks for your reply.

- I have a good sense of the overheads - I was more curious about the latencies (ms) you are observing with the system today.

- Out of curiosity, why did you pick Redis? Is it mostly due to familiarity and experience with it in the past? I'm curious if you foresee any challenges scaling to larger datasets due to the in-memory limitations.

- I'm assuming you're going with a usage-based model for large volumes of data managed? Do you support spinning down the service (moving things to cold-storage), and auto-scaling things back up when users actually search for things. Wondering how you're thinking about this especially if customers don't use the APIs daily.

- For the 100M+ vectors, what type of data were they dealing with, documents, images or something else?

Thanks!
