The Architect's Guide to Production Vector Search with Vertex AI and Cloud Run
Building smart AI apps with semantic search or RAG is accessible, but making them fast, scalable, and cost-effective is the real challenge. This Google Cloud guide helps architects and engineers achieve that. It explores Vertex AI's embedding models, such as gemini-embedding-001, demonstrating how model choice affects performance and cost. The guide also covers RAG and semantic search patterns, emphasizing the optimization of embeddings for specific tasks. You'll learn about efficient vector similarity search using tools like Faiss and ScaNN, and gain a blueprint for deploying workloads on Google Cloud Run, along with best practices for minimizing latency. A FastAPI application example provides a complete, production-ready solution.
