# Vectors Week: become a savier vector db customer

**[Software Doug](https://daily.dev/sources/softwaredoug)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A series of three online events (August 10-14) covering vector database selection, hybrid search best practices, and a hands-on paid course to build a vector database from scratch. Topics include how to systematically evaluate and choose a vector database, why naive lexical+dense hybrid search fails and how to fix it, and core vector search primitives like quantization, graph/clustering algorithms, and metadata filtering.
