PostgreSQL pgvector architecture & optimization

We implement vector similarity search inside your existing PostgreSQL database, with no separate vector store to keep in sync.

Core capabilities

Why we build with pgvector

01

HNSW & IVFFlat index tuning

Tuning m, ef_construction and ef_search for the recall and latency your product needs.

02

Relational and vector queries together

Single ACID transactions joining user permissions, relational tables and vector similarity in one SQL query.

03

No sync pipeline

Embeddings live in the same rows as your data and are written in the same transaction, with no separate sync workers or ETL.

Use cases

Where pgvector fits

Multi-tenant SaaS AI search

Filtering vector search results strictly by tenant_id with database Row Level Security.

CRM note search

Semantic search across sales interaction logs joined with CRM pipeline status.

How we staff it

pgvector engineers you interview first

Seniority and experience are agreed in the proposal, and you interview every engineer before they start.

Working-hours overlap is agreed for each engagement and written into the statement of work — the shared window, who shifts hours, and how handoffs work outside it.

Technical FAQs

Frequently asked engineering questions

Yes. With an HNSW index and enough RAM to keep the index in memory, multi-million-row tables return nearest-neighbour results quickly. We benchmark recall and latency on your data before committing.

When your vectors number in the low tens of millions or fewer, and you benefit from joining them with relational data and RLS policies. Beyond that, or at very high query rates, a dedicated vector database is worth evaluating.
