Data Infrastructure Managed vector database
Storing and querying vector embeddings at scale for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, and recommendation systems. It's a fully managed service, so teams don't need to operate database infrastructure — just send vectors via API and query by similarity.
Sign up at pinecone.io and create an API key from the console. Install the pinecone Python client with pip install pinecone, then create an index specifying your embedding dimension and distance metric. The free tier supports one index with up to 100K vectors for testing.

Series C SaaS company, 200k monthly conversations
A growing SaaS company's support team couldn't scale to handle 200k monthly conversations. Average first-response time was 4 hours; human agents were overwhelmed with repetitive queries.
Deployed a Pinecone-backed RAG chatbot with 50M+ indexed document chunks — product docs, help articles, past resolved tickets. Tuned HNSW parameters for sub-50ms p95 retrieval so conversations feel instant.
78% of queries resolved without human intervention. Customer satisfaction improved from 3.2 to 4.6/5. Support team headcount growth halted despite 3x user growth.
B2B AI platform (200 enterprise tenants)
A B2B platform needed to store and query each enterprise customer's data in complete isolation. A naive shared-namespace approach was leaking cross-tenant data in edge cases.
Designed a Pinecone multi-namespace architecture with per-customer namespaces, metadata filtering, and an application-layer tenant isolation layer. Implemented quota enforcement per namespace to prevent noisy-neighbor problems.
Zero cross-tenant data incidents after migration. Query latency improved 22% vs the previous shared-namespace design. Architecture now scales to 500+ tenants without re-engineering.
