Vector Search in ArangoDB: Practical Insights and Hands-On Examples

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

Vector search is gaining traction as a go-to tool for handling large, unstructured datasets like text, images, and audio. It works by comparing vector embeddings, numerical representations generated by machine learning models, to find items with similar properties. With the integration of Facebook’s FAISS library, ArangoDB brings scalable, high-performance vector search directly into its core, accessible via AQL (ArangoDB Query Language). Vector Search is now just another, fully-integrated data type/model in ArangoDB’s multi-model approach.

This guide will walk you through setting up vector search, combining it with graph traversal for advanced use cases, and using tools like LangChain to power natural language queries that integrate Vector Search and GraphRAG.

Some Perspectives on HybridRAG in an ArangoDB World

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

Introduction

Graph databases continue to gain momentum, thanks to their knack for handling intricate relationships and context. Developers and tech leaders are seeing the potential of pairing them with the creative strength of large language models (LLMs). This combination is opening the door to more precise, context-aware answers to natural language prompts. That’s where RAG comes in—it pulls in useful information, whether from raw text (VectorRAG) or a structured knowledge graph (GraphRAG), and feeds it into the LLM. The result? Smarter, more relevant responses that are grounded in actual data.

Understanding Large Language Models (LLMs) and Knowledge Graphs

Today, two very different technology concepts have become prominent in data analysis and predictive analytics: Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models (LLMs). These domains each have their unique benefits, and influence the ways that we engage with and derive meaningful insights from constantly expanding and complex datasets.  They are like the Odd Couple – better together than on their own!
