About In-Memory Vector Store

In-Memory Vector Store is an n8n node that creates a temporary vector database directly in your workflow process memory. You feed it text, it generates embeddings, and you can immediately run semantic similarity searches against it — all without setting up Pinecone, Supabase, or any external database. The data lives only for the duration of the workflow execution and disappears when the run completes.

This makes it perfect for prototyping RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) workflows, processing document batches where you need to cross-reference content within a single run, and testing embedding strategies before committing to a production vector database. A common pattern is loading a set of documents at the start of a workflow, searching them based on user queries or extracted criteria, and then discarding the vectors when the job is done. No infrastructure costs, no database management, no credentials to configure.

The trade-off is clear: no persistence. When the workflow finishes, the vectors are gone. For production systems that need to retain and query data across executions, you would move to Pinecone or Supabase. But for rapid iteration, batch processing, and proof-of-concept builds, In-Memory Vector Store removes every barrier to getting started. Our AI consulting team regularly uses it during discovery workshops to demonstrate RAG capabilities to clients before designing the production architecture.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement In-Memory Vector Store

Step 1

Define Your Use Case Scope

Determine whether your workflow needs temporary or persistent vector storage. We assess data volume, query patterns, and retention requirements to confirm In-Memory Vector Store is the right choice — or identify when a persistent alternative is more appropriate.

Step 2

Prepare Your Document Pipeline

Set up the data source nodes that feed documents into the vector store — file readers, API calls, database queries, or webhook payloads. We configure text extraction and cleaning steps so the content is ready for embedding.

Step 3

Connect an Embedding Model

Add an embedding model node (OpenAI, Ollama, or another provider) to convert your text into vector representations. We select the model based on your accuracy needs, cost constraints, and whether data privacy requires a self-hosted option.

Step 4

Load Documents into the Vector Store

Configure the In-Memory Vector Store node to receive embedded documents. We set up chunking parameters, metadata tagging, and batch processing logic to handle your document volume efficiently within a single execution.

Step 5

Query and Retrieve Results

Add a Vector Store Retriever node to search the in-memory store based on user queries or workflow-generated criteria. We test retrieval accuracy and tune similarity thresholds to ensure the most relevant documents surface consistently.

Step 6

Plan the Path to Production

Once your prototype works, we plan migration to a persistent vector database if needed. The workflow logic stays the same — only the storage backend changes. This lets you validate your approach cheaply before investing in production infrastructure.
