Big Data enjoys the hype around it and for a reason. But the understanding of the essence of Big Data and ways to analyze it is still blurred. The truth is, there’s more to this term than just the size of information generated. Not only does Big Data apply to the huge volumes of continuously growing data that come in different formats, but it also refers to the range of processes, tools, and approaches used to gain insights from that data.

Summary Machine learning models use vectors as the natural mechanism for representing their internal state. The problem is that in order for the models to integrate with external systems their internal state has to be translated into a lower dimension. To eliminate this impedance mismatch Edo Liberty founded Pinecone to build database that works natively with vectors.

Summary Data lineage is the common thread that ties together all of your data pipelines, workflows, and systems. In order to get a holistic understanding of your data quality, where errors are occurring, or how a report was constructed you need to track the lineage of the data from beginning to end. The complicating factor is that every framework, platform, and product has its own concepts of how to store, represent, and expose that information.

While they provide a measure of convenience, they also require you to sacrifice a certain amount of control over your data. If you want to build a warehouse that gives you both control and flexibility then you might consider building on top of the venerable PostgreSQL project.
