In my latest video, I discuss the 6️⃣ technical aspects that *actually* determine vector database speed—from hardware vectorization to quantization tradeoffs to chunking strategies. There is no vendor pitch, just technical analysis. 😉 🎥 Watch it now: youtube.com/watch?v=3ZOt3i…

"Ricardo, I saw in your video about what a hybrid search is that full-text search is like that literal friend who needs exact wording to get you. I didn't get that. Could you explain?" Yeah, sure. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

The gorilla's 360 is like implementing sorting algorithms on top of Redis strings when you can use the built-in Sorted Set 😅

In my new video, I explain what filtered search is, why you should care about it, and the benefits of using it in conjunction with vector search. #FilteredSearch #VectorSearch #VectorDatabases #Redis #TechExplained 🎥 Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=3bfJRl…

Redis Released📍 SF • Sept 4 A one-day event for teams building fast, scalable AI. Learn side-by-side with Redis engineers and AI leaders like @riferrei, who’ll share how to keep vector embeddings fresh in production. Save your seat: 🔗 events.redis.io/redis-released…

What happens when your data scientists don't leverage proper governance practices to update your LLM with new training data and keep pushing changes as they wish 😅

Hybrid search is one of those terms that, if you glance over it to understand, you won't get a full grasp of what it can do. However, once you do, you'll be amazed by how powerful this technique is. 🎥 Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=ZcZGwS…

Have you ever wondered the song #ChariotsOfFire without the Yamaha CS-80 synthesizer that creates that constant, pulsing, and arpeggiated pattern that serves as the rhythmic foundation for the entire song? ➡️ Not great, right? The same goes for AI apps without a memory layer.

Do you know how to properly store your embeddings in a vector store? Do you know what chunking strategies exist? How about chunking short and large documents? I published a new video that answers everything! 🎬 Watch now: youtube.com/watch?v=ZTOtxi…

How working with AI Coding Assistants feels like sometimes 🤣 🤣 🤣 #AI #CodingAssistants #DeveloperProductivity

My take on this photo that is circulating out there: Replace the term "Data Engineer" for "Big Data Engineer" and everything else pretty much remains the same from 15 years ago. A couple of new technologies here in there—but nothing really disruptive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you know who else loves to gossip? #Redis! Redis uses a combination of gossip protocol and distributed lock mechanisms to manage cluster state and node interactions. It provides a scalable and reliable foundation for vector search applications.

Vamos aprender como implementar buscas híbridas usando #Java, #Spring, e #Redis? Vou falar sobre isso hoje as 14:00 horas do Brasil. Segue o link para o live stream: youtube.com/watch?v=FOlMVT…

I don't always speak at the Spring I/O conference. But when I do, I give thumbs up to the photographer when they take pictures. 😅

I'm excited to speak again at the @AllThingsOpen this year. I will talk about when you should *really* use vector databases, providing guidance on where this technology truly shines and when it is just a hammer looking for a nail. 2025.allthingsopen.org/sessions/to-ve…
