Understanding Vector Databases

In this episode of Talking Serverless, we sit down with Jack Pertschuk, Principal Engineer of Algorithms and Platforms at Pinecone, to explore the ever-evolving landscape of LLM-centric architectures and vector databases.

Jack shares his journey from data science to building cutting-edge infrastructure at Pinecone, and walks us through what it really means to architect apps in a world where large language models are at the center.

💡 In this episode:

-What it takes to build reliable, scalable LLM applications

-How to think about infrastructure when your “data” lives in high-dimensional space

-What makes Pinecone tick behind the scenes
