Zilliz CTO: Evolution of Vector Databases from Algorithms to Infrastructure
No_Engineer_1224 · reddit · 2026-08-29
Zilliz CTO reviews the evolution of vector databases: from internal search libraries (like FAISS) to production-grade infrastructure supporting RAG and Agent systems. As LLMs mature, vector databases have expanded from simple similarity search to serving as long-term memory and a semantic layer for Agents. Future trends point towards a 'Vector Lake' architecture connecting training, inference, and data governance.
