Data Repositories
The Data Repositories component leverages Supabase as the primary data platform, providing PostgreSQL-powered storage systems optimized for different data types, access patterns, and performance requirements. Supabase’s native support for vector embeddings via pgvector, real-time subscriptions, and edge deployment makes it the ideal foundation for AIMatrix’s data layer.
