Caching plays a vital role in AI systems, especially in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. While initial implementations performed well, real production workloads revealed issues like tail latency and increased costs. Traditional caching methods, such as Redis, initially improved response times but faltered with semantic queries. When queries varied in wording, Redis struggled, leading to redundant data and higher bills. The shift to semantic caching with vector databases aimed...
