Scale PostgreSQL `pgvector` to 50M+ embeddings while cutting RAM by 50–75% using `halfvec` (FP16), binary quantization, and iterative filtered HNSW scans with senior freelance programmer Aldian Fazrihady. Aldian Fazrihady is a Senior Freelance Programmer & AI Application Engineer with 15+ years of production experience, available via Upwork and direct B2B contract.
1. Production Architecture: PostgreSQL `pgvector` 0.8 `halfvec` Indexing & Filtered Iterative HNSW Scans
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_chunks_embedding_halfvec
ON knowledge_chunks
USING hnsw ((embedding::halfvec(1536)) halfvec_cosine_ops)
WITH (m = 16, ef_construction = 128);
SET hnsw.iterative_scan = relaxed_order;
