Could you build this?
No Building a billion-scale GPU-SSD vector search engine requires low-level systems programming (C++/CUDA, NVMe Direct, custom memory layout, and SIMD/GPU kernel optimization) well beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A production system like Quiver requires C++, CUDA, SPDK or io_uring for direct NVMe SSD access, and custom approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) graph algorithms (like DiskANN or IVF-PQ) optimized for heterogeneous memory hierarchies. The hard part is managing GPU-to-SSD DMA, memory-mapped I/O caching, and minimizing PCIe bus contention to sustain billion-scale searches under millisecond latencies. It demands deep systems engineering, hardware architecture knowledge, and specialized high-performance computing expertise.
