Vector Database

A specialized database that stores data as high-dimensional numerical vectors (embeddings) instead of rows and columns. Vector databases enable semantic similarity search — finding content by meaning rather than exact keywords. GenMB's Vector DB service uses pgvector (a PostgreSQL extension) with automatic text chunking and embedding generation, making it easy to add semantic search or RAG to generated apps.
