Vectors, Analytics, and the End of ETL
Part 3 of 4 - The Multimodal Database Series
In Part 1: The Polyglot Tax we laid out the fraud detection scenario: a transaction comes in, and before you approve or deny it you need five checks. Order history (relational). Device fingerprint (JSON). Connections to fraud rings (graph). Transactions that look like this one (vector similarity). Statistical baselines across millions of rows (analytics).
