How to Build an Elastic Vector Database with Consistent Hashing, Sharding, and Live Ring Visualization for RAG Systems

In this tutorial, we build an elastic vector database simulator that mirrors how modern RAG systems shard embeddings across distributed storage nodes. We implement consistent hashing with virtual nodes to ensure balanced placement and minimal reshuffling as the system scales. We visualize the hashing ring in real time and interactively add or remove nodes to
