Did you know Redis had vector indexing capabilities?

Being as it predominantly known as a lightning fast Valkey store I would not have expected them to add in vector indexing but they did.

It looks like it works with both Redis Open Source as well as their enterprise offering. If you started using Valkey like me you will be happy to know the Valkey team is on the Vector DB bandwagon as well.

It uses a little known feature of Redis called FT.SEARCH which allows you to search an index you previously created with FT.CREATE.

It’s fascinating to me that so many diverse data sources are adding in vector indexing capabilities. AWS S3, designed to store massive binary data like images adding it at the same time as the lightning fast value key store.

Does this mean we are in a Vector DB bubble or is this a fundamental shift in how data is indexed? Let me know your thoughts.
