Oodles delivers end-to-end Weaviate implementation services for enterprise AI systems. We design, deploy, and optimize Weaviate vector databases for semantic search, recommendation engines, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using HNSW indexing, modular embeddings, and scalable cloud-native architectures.
Weaviate is an open-source, cloud-native vector database designed for storing, indexing, and searching high-dimensional vector embeddings. It supports fast semantic search using HNSW graph-based indexing and integrates seamlessly with modern machine learning and LLM workflows.
Oodles uses Weaviate as a core vector storage layer for AI applications, enabling scalable similarity search, hybrid filtering, and RAG pipelines powered by transformer-based embedding models.

From data ingestion to production-grade deployment: our systematic approach to building robust vector-driven applications.
1
Data Ingestion & Embedding: Embedding structured and unstructured data using OpenAI, Hugging Face, or custom transformer encoders before ingestion into Weaviate.
2
Schema Design & Indexing: Designing Weaviate schemas and configuring HNSW index parameters (M, efConstruction, efSearch) for optimal performance.
3
Query Optimization: Fine-tuning vector search, metadata filtering, and hybrid search for precision and recall optimization.
4
RAG & API Integration: Integrating Weaviate with LLM frameworks via REST and GraphQL APIs for enterprise-grade RAG workflows.
5
Scaling & Monitoring: Deploying Weaviate clusters using Docker and Kubernetes with observability and performance monitoring.

Enable context-rich LLM generations by retrieving accurate documents from Weaviate.
Search and analyze large-scale image and video libraries using semantic vector indexing.
Use Weaviate when you need semantic search (meaning, not just keywords), RAG with LLMs, or hybrid vector+keyword search in one system. Elasticsearch excels at full-text search and log analytics. Pinecone is a managed vector DB; Weaviate offers more flexibility with built-in vectorization and GraphQL.
Hybrid search runs both BM25 (keyword) and vector similarity in parallel, then fuses results using reciprocal rank fusion or weighted scoring. This catches exact matches (e.g., product IDs) and semantic matches (e.g., "comfortable running shoes" → "cushioned athletic footwear"). We tune the fusion weights for your domain.
Yes. Weaviate's vectorizer modules (OpenAI, Cohere, Hugging Face, etc.) automatically embed text at ingest time. You define the module in your schema and Weaviate calls the API when you add objects. For large datasets, we batch requests and can use self-hosted models to avoid API costs.
We design incremental indexing pipelines: new or updated documents are chunked, embedded, and upserted into Weaviate. We use batch APIs for efficiency and optional versioning for rollback. For real-time updates, we keep latency under a few seconds from document ingest to searchability.
Yes. Weaviate's GraphQL API lets you combine vector search with filters (e.g., category, date range, price). Filters are applied before or after the vector search depending on your query. We use pre-filtering for strict constraints and post-filtering when you need top-K semantic results first.
We evaluate models on your data: run retrieval benchmarks (e.g., recall@K, MRR) and compare OpenAI, Cohere, and open-source options (e.g., sentence-transformers). Factors include domain (general vs. specialized), latency, cost, and multilingual needs. We often start with a strong baseline (e.g., text-embedding-3-small) and fine-tune if needed.
FAISS is an in-memory index for similarity search only. Weaviate is a full database: it stores objects, supports CRUD, filtering, and hybrid search, and scales horizontally. FAISS suits offline batch retrieval; Weaviate suits production apps needing real-time updates, metadata, and API access.
