Overview
DataRobot Vector Databases provide FAISS-based internal vector stores and managed connections to external vector databases. They are integrated into the DataRobot AI platform to support retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and other embedding-based AI workloads.
The feature focuses on creating and configuring vector databases, managing versions, and registering and deploying these databases as part of production AI systems.
Features
Vector database types
- Internal FAISS-based vector databases managed directly inside DataRobot.
- External vector database connections, including:
- Pinecone
- Elasticsearch
- Milvus
Creation and configuration
- Create new internal vector databases within the DataRobot platform.
- Configure connection details for supported external vector database providers.
- Associate vector databases with AI projects and deployments.
Data sources and ingestion
- Add internal data sources (data already within DataRobot) to internal vector databases.
- Add and manage external data sources as inputs to vector databases.
- Configure ingestion and update behavior for connected databases (where supported by the underlying system).
Versioning and lifecycle management
- Versioning for internal vector databases, allowing tracking and promotion of specific versions.
- Versioning for connected / external databases, capturing versions of configurations or snapshots as supported.
- Manage multiple versions for experimentation, testing, and rollback.
Registration and deployment
- Register vector databases as reusable assets within the DataRobot platform.
- Deploy vector databases into production environments as part of AI applications.
- Use deployed vector databases as a retrieval layer for models and generative pipelines.
RAG and AI use cases
- Power retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows by providing similarity search over embedded documents.
- Support other embedding-based AI use cases, such as semantic search and recommendation, through the same internal/external vector database abstraction.
Integrations
- Internal: FAISS-based vector store integrated natively with DataRobot.
- External vector databases:
- Pinecone
- Elasticsearch
- Milvus
