Astra DB and vector databases

We connected Astra DB as a vector database to our backend. The main use case for it is that we store the embeddings of our main data entities. In Restworld, we have something similar to a marketplace made of job opportunities and job seekers. We use text embedding models to create vectors out of them and we exploit Astra DB vector database capabilities to power our recommendation and personalization algorithms.

In our case, It's been an easy way to implement Gen AI - based applications. For the developers it is very easy to integrate, either through the drivers or through the api, using plain CQL. All the hosting and management is left to Astra DB itself
