There’s definitely some hype in any new data infrastructure trend (see: graph databases, time-series databases). But the problem vector DBs solve—retrieving context efficiently for LLMs—seems real enough. Maybe the question is whether LLM-native applications will be big enough to sustain a separate category. Is the industry moving toward general-purpose DBs incorporating vector search? or specialized vector DBs will still have a place in some time?
