Happy holidays and wish you an exciting new year as we come out of which LLM is the best and jump into the world of AI Agents, guardrails, and multimodality in 2025!
As we come out of which LLM is the best and jump into the world of AI Agents, guardrails, and multimodality in 2025, we want to thank you for sharing how you are leveraging these exciting developments to enhance customer experience and improve efficiency within your organization. We are especially grateful for the opportunity to explore how we can partner with you in the coming year to help you achieve these goals.
As we reflect on all we have achieved at ApertureData this year, we are extremely proud of our team and very thankful to our current as well as potential customers, investors, and families in supporting this roller coaster of a year!
Some highlights from our journey this year
What ApertureDB can do for you: Multimodal data management for AI is hard but necessary to take you to the next level in this new AI/ML world. ApertureDB makes it very simple. It is the only database that seamlessly combines the capabilities of a memory-optimized graph database with scalable vector database and multimodal dataset management. You only have to work with one database via its unified API. We certainly poured a lot of love in our documentation this year to answer all your questions —including a chatbot powered by ApertureDB vector search!
Scale & Performance: Not only were we able to scale ApertureDB to 1M queries per second, measure some of the best vector search performance in the market (13000+ embeddings per second and sub 10 msec latency), we can also scale to where other popular vector databases fall short! We were able to ingest multimodal datasets with one dataset getting ingested at over 800 images per second. Stay tuned for our benchmarking report in the new year.
Stats on your data: Based on visibility into a small subset of user instances, ApertureDB has been easily managing over 80M objects, 138M connections, 20M images, 52M embeddings, 160K videos, in production. For one of our key customers, ApertureDB has been easily delivering over 8000 embeddings per second with queries coming from over 300 stores! These metrics are continually evolving and our internal tests have proven ApertureDB with billions of objects.
Ease of access: We are committed to making it easy for you to build PoCs and confidently scale to production. In addition to supporting VPC deployments, we've expanded our offerings with ApertureDB in the Cloud, the ApertureDB Community Edition, GCP Marketplace, and DB-as-a-Service on both GCP and AWS. We have got you covered every step of the way!"
Integrations and partnerships: Databases live in an ecosystem of tools and the AI landscape is currently brimming with those! Thank you for sharing which ones you cared about the most because of which, we added connectors and integrations to LabelStudio, LangChain, LlamaIndex (user-contributed!) in addition to PyTorch, Tensowflow, and Vertex AI. We set up ETL pipelines to generate embeddings and metadata from Twelve Labs, OpenAI, Cohere, FaceNet, and other user-provided options. We launched partnerships with GCP and HPE with AWS now on the horizon.
Content: We are always looking to solve as many data challenges as we can for as many users as we can. That requires awareness in the right communities. We launched our newsletter covering real world challenges in multimodal AI, and started connecting with various users during meetups, conferences, and through blogs (our
resource library).
What to expect from ApertureData in 2025?
We are excited to build on the momentum we have gained in 2024 and continue working together with you to tackle the growing and dynamic challenges of managing text and multimodal data for AI. Together, we will keep pushing the boundaries and finding solutions that drive real impact!"
A few new efforts that I am very excited about:
- We will be opening up our collection of application examples, our internal datasets to help you build new applications faster.
- Our Cloud product is getting some very cool enhancements that you will hear about soon.
- We will be launching a new lunch & learn series and would love to feature some of our work together.
- We have lined up more exciting partnerships particularly to help ETL complex data types, extend to agentic workflows, and some very interesting new content.
- A detailed comparison with various databases.
