Vector Store Connectors

The Vector Stores Connector API provides a lightweight, configurable way to synchronize data from external sources (such as OCI Object Storage) into a vector store at scale.

A VectorStoreConnector resource stores the data source configuration and manages the ingestion pipeline that loads content into the target vector store. Syncs can be triggered manually, and ingestion logs provide per-file status at each stage of the process.
