SIGMOD'21 - https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/csjgwang/pubs/SIGMOD21_Milvu... This paper talks about the vector database vertical (compute core and user-facing API)
VLDB'22 - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.13843.pdf This paper discusses the development of a cloud-native vector database.
Reading through them should help folks understand where the novelty and difficulty in developing an full-fledged vector database comes from.
