Vector Database Systems: Scalability and Efficiency

Vector database systems offer linear scalability and efficiency as you add nodes, allowing for consistent performance growth. Each node in a vector database system acts similarly, making it easy to reason about the system's functionality. The ability to add more nodes for linear scalability mitigates hardware limitations found in traditional relational databases.
