Hybrid and Multi-Model Architectures: When a Single Database Can Manage OLTP, Analytics, and Vectors
Modern enterprises do not exist in neatly separated data environments. Transactional workloads (OLTP), analytical processing (OLAP), and vector-based AI retrieval have converged. Customer transactions feed real-time dashboards; dashboards feed machine learning; embeddings update decision engines; and AI agents manipulate both structured and unstructured data. The old idea-that of using separate systems for each workload-creates complexity, […]
