I fell down the vector database rabbit hole 😁
This year Storyblok announced Strata, our vector-powered platform to make content genuinely usable in the AI era (LLM search, RAG, ...). So my DevRel brain (the Senior part of it) said: ok, learn this properly, and share the journey with a 3-part series on our dev blog!
Part 1 is live: a gentle intro to the what/why behind vector DBs, with plenty of links for deeper dives. It's the "a‑ha!" moment I wish I had on day zero.
If you're new to this or want a clean mental model, give it a read, and please tell me what's missing so Part 2 (hands‑on, code + retrieval) can be even better!
PS: these are my findings as I go, no "professor" vibes here, I'm learning out loud so don't expect perfection (yet). If you spot gaps or have resources, drop them in! Let's learn this properly together 😉
