Vector similarity search (VSS) has become a very popular use-case for AI-driven applications. Azure Cache for Redis can be used to store vector embeddings and compare them through vector similarity search. This article is a high-level introduction to the concept of vector embeddings, vector comparison, and how Redis can be used as a seamless part of a vector similarity workflow.

Vector search capabilities in Redis require [Redis Stack](https://redis.io/docs/about/about-stack/), specifically the [RediSearch](https://redis.io/docs/interact/search-and-query/) module. This capability is only available in the [Enterprise tiers of Azure Cache for Redis](cache-redis-modules.md).
