This is the kind of #MariaDBVector use case I love to see 👀
The @bagistoshop team tested semantic search on 25,000 products with MariaDB 11.8 LTS — including latency, concurrency, and more... And there are some very interesting results 🚀

[ProxySQL @proxysql]

Need a local MariaDB replication environment to reproduce a problem?

Our dbdeployer update walks through downloading MariaDB 12.3.3, unpacking it, deploying a three-node replication sandbox, and running its replication test.

It also covers Galera, PostgreSQL, and adding ProxySQL to supported topologies with --with-proxysql.

Use a compatible host with the database runtime dependencies installed. The article includes prerequisites and links to the detailed guides.

Try the examples with dbdeployer v2.4.2:
