AlloyDB AI auto vector embeddings and auto vector index

Modern applications store their most valuable data such as product catalogs or user profiles in operational databases. These data stores are excellent for applications that need to handle real-time transactions — and with their support for vector operations, they’ve also become an excellent foundation for modern search or gen AI application serving.

AlloyDB AI provides powerful, high-performance vector capabilities enabling you to generate embeddings inline and manually tune powerful vector indexes. While you can generate embeddings out of the box for in line search use cases, we also wanted AlloyDB to address the complexity of creating and maintaining huge numbers of vector embeddings. 

To make this possible, we’re introducing two new features for AlloyDB AI, available in preview, that will empower you to transform your existing operational database into a powerful, AI-native database with just a few lines of SQL:

1. Auto vector embeddings

2. Auto vector index
