Summary
In episode 3 of the Cache-it podcast, host Khawaja Shams brings on Alex DeBrie, author if The DynamoDB Book and AWS Data Hero, to discuss the parallels of vector databases and DynamoDB.
They talk about the early days of DynamoDB and how it changed their perspective on databases after experiencing the challenges of production systems. They draw parallels between the history of databases, the current state of vector databases, and what the future holds for this space. Spoiler alert: It's purpose built vector databases and serverless.
They conclude with a confession from Khawaja, a discussion on merits of single-table design, and whether Alex is ready to disown Khawaja after a revelation about Momento's architecture. We won't give away the details, but we promise it is juicy!
Alex DeBrie is the keynote speaker at Momento’s upcoming conference, MoCon. He will be sharing a presentation on embracing generative AI for product engineering.
