Google launches AlloyDB AI to help developers create generative AI apps

Google recently announced the launch of AlloyDB AI The service further expands on the capabilities of the existing AlloyDB service and focuses on helping developers leverage operational data to create generative AI applications.

AlloyDB is a PostgreSQL-compatible, fully managed database service that automates administrative tasks such as backup, replication, patching, and capacity management, and uses adaptive algorithms and machine learning techniques for PostgreSQL vacuum management, storage and memory management, data tiering, and analytics acceleration, making it easy for developers to focus on building applications.

The introduction of AlloyDB AI allows developers to combine the power of a large language model with the ability to manipulate data in real-time to provide full support for vector embeddings. alloyDB AI uses simple SQL functions to transform data into vector embeddings, and it can perform vector queries up to ten times faster than standard PostgreSQL.

Google said that AlloyDB AI enables users to generate embeddings of data with simple PostgreSQL functions, and that users only need one line of SQL syntax to access Google's embedding models, such as embedded generative models within the database, or various pre-trained models from Vertex AI. This feature will make it easier for developers to create generative AI applications, improving the intelligence and user experience of applications. Google is committed to advancingartificial intelligence (AI)technology development and application, the launch of the AlloyDB AI service is another important initiative in the field of artificial intelligence. By combining AI technology with database services, Google provides developers with more convenient and efficient tools, which are expected to promote the popularization and development of AI applications.
