Vector optimization

AuraDB Professional AuraDB Business Critical AuraDB Virtual Dedicated Cloud

Vector optimization reserves memory for vector indexes, enhancing performance for vector-based operations. It is available for AuraDB instances with more than 4GB of memory and across all supported cloud providers and regions.

This configuration re-allocates memory from the graph database to the vector index. If this has an impact on your application, consider resizing to a larger Aura instance.

To enable vector optimization during instance creation, select Instance details > Additional settings > Vector-optimized configuration.

To enable vector optimization on existing instances, from the instance card, use the Configure button to access Configure instance and find the toggle called Vector-optimized configuration. You can view the current vector configuration status in the instance details, from the (…​) menu on the instance card.

If you lower the instance size below 4GB, vector optimization is disabled automatically.

If you clone your instance to a new instance, the new instance inherits the vector optimization settings of the original instance. But if you clone to an existing instance, its vector optimization setting remains unchanged.
