B-Trees, Vectors, and Graphs: Why Hybrid Search Breaks at the Storage Layer
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
Agent memory exposes a storage-layer problem beneath retrieval: metadata, semantic similarity, relationships, permissions, and time have to work together in one query path. Vector search with filters covers only one part of that workload. TL;DR AI agents do not need another database to store embeddings. Instead, they require a purpose-built context database that can preserve memory across users, sessions, permissions, relationships, and time. A single memory query may need to filter by tenant,…
