Embeddings and Vector Databases for Fast RAG (100% Local) | Ollama, Supabase (PostgreSQL + pgvector)

Simple keyword is not enough for your RAG. If a user asks for "money" but your documents say "revenue," traditional search fails. In this tutorial, we'll build the storage layer of a production-grade RAG system using Vector Embeddings.
We will move beyond simple TF-IDF and implement Semantic Search using local open-source models (Qwen3 Embedding), PostgreSQL, and pgvector via Supabase.
