Wrap-up / Next steps
Congratulations! You have completed this course on vector indexes. We hope you found it helpful and informative.
Index selection
When choosing an index type, use the following as a guide:
- Flat index: Use for small collections with a known size.
- HNSW index: Use for large collections with a known size.
- Dynamic index: Use for collections with an unknown size or collections that may grow over time.
Also, in a multi-tenant environment, the "dynamic" index may be a good default choice, as it will allow some tenants to remain in the flat
index while others are automatically converted to hnsw
when they grow.
