Pinecone is a vector database that enables users to build and deploy generative AI applications at scale by storing, searching, and retrieving meaningful information from their company data with each query. This allows for reduced LLM hallucinations and enhanced data security. Vector databases are essential for applications relying on generative AI, LLMs, or semantic search, as they facilitate AI understanding and long-term memory retention through vector embeddings. Pinecone's expanded integration with Datadog enables real-time monitoring of serverless vector databases, providing performance insights, latency prevention, and anomaly detection through preconfigured dashboards and custom alerts. By leveraging this integration, users can optimize performance, control usage, and maintain a healthy environment, ultimately enhancing the security and effectiveness of their generative AI applications.
