Real World Example: Sarah’s RAG App

Sarah built a RAG chatbot with Pinecone. 6 months later, traffic spiked and costs hit $500/mo. She needed to switch to a cheaper option like Qdrant or LanceDB (self-hosted).

The Problem: Switching meant rewriting her data ingestion layer and search logic. The Solution: She switched to Embex.

Before (Native Client)

Heavy vendor lock-in specific to one SDK.

# Pinecone specific code
import pinecone
pinecone.init(api_key="...")
idx = pinecone.Index("my-index")
idx.upsert(vectors=[...])

After (Embex)

Vendor-agnostic. Switching from Pinecone to Qdrant is just changing one string.

# Embex code
from embex import EmbexClient
# To switch provider, just change "pinecone" to "qdrant"
client = await EmbexClient.new_async("pinecone", "...")
await client.collection("my-index").insert([...])

Result: Sarah moved to Qdrant in 2 minutes of code changes.
