Deploy Pinecone Serverless
👉 1 Permanent Free Index • No Card Required
Pinecone hosts high-dimensional embeddings with metadata filtering, namespaces, and hybrid sparse-dense retrieval. Serverless indexes scale usage without provisioning shard topology manually.
Key takeaway:
Partition namespaces per tenant or document collection to isolate RAG contexts and simplify bulk deletes during re-embedding jobs.
