pgvectorscale support in Cloud SQL for Postgres

[rojaleh]

Hi all.

Curious if the Cloud SQL team has any plans to support pgvectorscale for Postgres?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @rojaleh,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

It looks like there's already a feature request in the works for pgvectorscale support, but as of now, there’s no confirmed timeline or guarantee for when it will be implemented. Both Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL and AlloyDB for PostgreSQL do support the pgvector extension, though.

I'd suggest keeping an eye on the Cloud SQL release notes and the issue tracker for any updates. You might also want to check out resources like Building AI-powered apps on Google Cloud databases using pgvector, LLMs, and LangChain for more info in the meantime.

Hope this helps.

Thank you @mcbsalceda. I see the issue now here and will keep an eye on it. We're big users of GCP's Cloud SQL for Postgres and Vertex AI, and support for pgvectorscale would go a long way toward advancing our product and capabilities while staying within the GCP ecosystem. Thanks again!
