Knowledge Tutorial

Zvec is an embedded vector database engine designed to bridge high-performance C++ internals with user-friendly Python bindings. It organizes data into manageable chunks called segments and employs a hybrid query engine to orchestrate complex similarity searches using advanced indexing algorithms like HNSW and IVF.

Ch.01 CORE
Python-C++ Bridge (Bindings)
Welcome to the Zvec tutorial! If you want to build high-performance vector databases but love the simplicity of Python, you are in the righ…
↗
Ch.02 CORE
The Collection (Data Container)
In the previous chapter, Python-C++ Bridge (Bindings), we learned how to start the high-performance C++ engine using Python.
↗
Ch.03 CORE
Hybrid Query Engine
In the previous chapter, The Collection (Data Container), we built a "Smart Filing Cabinet" and stored our library books in it.
