I have been working on a presentation that sums up the main points why vector databases are often an unnecessary optimization that's too often being promoted by vector database vendors. The slides are available here: https://vec3.ai/

Do you think vector databases are overrated?
In what instances have vector databases proved most useful in your projects, and were they commercial implementations?

Plugins for opensearch and Postgres are useful. Dedicated vectordbs are not IMO.
