How MongoDB Partners Like Pureinsights Can Help
Search and AI application specialists like Pureinsights can shorten the planning and development cycle, bring applications to production faster, and accelerate time to value for the customer.
The Architecture of Vector Search Applications
Virtually every Vector Search application will follow the basic logical flow illustrated below.
A Client creates a complex query, which is then submitted to an encoder. The encoder turns the query into a Vector and submits it to the Vector Search Engine. The Vector Search engine searches the Vector Database and returns results, which are then formulated and returned to the Client for presentation.
A complete Vector Search application includes all of the elements in this diagram, but not all of them are currently provided in the MongoDB Atlas platform. Everything to the left of the Vector Search Engine has to be developed by someone. MongoDB provides the vector store and a means to search it, but someone has to build the client and logic for the complete application.
