Redis Vector is the right choice when you already run Redis for caching and want vector search without adding another service. Slower than purpose-built vector DBs at scale.
Pros
- Already runs in your stack
- Sub-ms latency
- Hybrid with full-text out of the box
Cons
- Memory-resident — RAM cost grows linearly
- Less specialized than Qdrant/Milvus
