Analysis
The article provides a practical overview of transitioning from in-memory Faiss to disk-based solutions like SQLite and DuckDB for large-scale vector search. It's valuable for practitioners facing memory limitations but would benefit from performance benchmarks of different database options. A deeper discussion on indexing strategies specific to each database could also enhance its utility.
