Vector Databases

Understands the fundamentals of Vector Databases. Applies basic practices in daily work. Follows recommendations from the team and documentation.

Knows vector database basics: what is vector index, ANN search, distance metrics. Works with ChromaDB or Faiss for storing and searching embeddings in simple RAG applications.

Knows vector database basics: embeddings, similarity search, ANN algorithms. Uses Pinecone/Weaviate/Qdrant for storing text embeddings and semantic search.

Independently applies Vector Databases in practice. Understands trade-offs of different approaches. Solves typical tasks independently.

Independently administers vector databases in production: Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant. Configures indexes (HNSW, IVF), optimizes recall vs latency, manages collections and metadata.

Independently designs vector search for NLP: embedding model selection, index configuration, metadata filtering. Optimizes recall and latency for production semantic search.

Has deep expertise in Vector Databases. Designs solutions for production systems. Optimizes and scales. Mentors the team.

Designs scalable vector DB infrastructure: sharding, replication, hybrid search. Optimizes index parameters for trade-offs between recall, latency, and memory with millions of vectors.

Designs production vector search infrastructure for NLP: multi-tenant architecture, embedding model selection, index sharding. Optimizes for scale and cost-effectiveness.
