- ✅ Installed
@elastic/elasticsearch@^8.11.0 - ✅ Removed TiDB dependencies
- ✅ Generated new Prisma client
Prisma serves as your Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) in this hybrid architecture:

Why Keep Prisma:
- Structured Data: User authentication, team management, feedback metadata
- ACID Transactions: Critical for data consistency
- Type Safety: Full TypeScript integration
- Relationships: Complex user-team-feedback associations
- ✅ Prioritized Gemini over OpenAI in AI service
- ✅ Uses Gemini 1.5 Flash model (cost-effective with generous free tier)
- ✅ Integrated Google Cloud Vertex AI native capabilities
- ✅ Primary: Uses text-embedding-004 (768 dimensions)
- ✅ Dynamic dimensions based on AI provider
- ✅ Native Vertex AI integration via Elasticsearch inference API
- ✅ Automatic chunking and embedding generation
Based on comprehensive research of official Elastic + Google Cloud resources, implemented:
- Elasticsearch as grounding source for Vertex AI
- Direct integration with Gemini models
- semantic_text field for automatic embeddings
- Production-ready architecture
- Hybrid Search: Combines semantic + keyword search
- Native Grounding: Uses official Elasticsearch + Vertex AI APIs
- Real-time Processing: Immediate document indexing
- Team-scoped Search: Multi-tenant architecture

- Vertex AI Mode: Automatic embeddings with semantic_text
// Automatically prioritizes Gemini
getAvailableAIService() // → 'gemini' if GEMINI_API_KEY set
getEmbeddingsModel() // → text-embedding-004 (768 dims)
getStreamingChatModel() // → gemini-1.5-flash// Automatically detects and uses best approach
elasticsearchVertexAIService.indexDocument() // → Native Vertex AI if available
elasticsearchVertexAIService.hybridSearchWithGrounding() // → Semantic + keyword- Official Integration Patterns: Follows Elasticsearch + Google Cloud best practices
