Operations
In this section of blogs, I will explain more about how vector databases are operated and maintained in production, the challenges involved, and how Piramid addresses those challenges. I will cover topics such as monitoring, alerting, scaling, backup and recovery, security, and best practices for operating vector databases in production.
What's covered
Health & Metrics→
The health and readiness endpoints, what each one checks, and the key Prometheus metrics to watch in production.
Logging & Tracing→
How the tracing stack works, how to tune log verbosity, and what gets emitted per-request versus at startup.
Maintenance→
Triggering index rebuilds, running compaction, and using the duplicate-detection API to audit collection quality.
