This example demonstrates usage of FaceDB to query an embedding from a DB. Please go through code to understand FaceDB usage.
**Introducing FaceDB** - powered by Facebook Research's Search Similarity library, facedb is a binary that runs as a http service. It stores embeddings in the millions and allows for searching the closest matching embedding within a second.

**What does it mean?**

It means that you can use FaceDB to query a face from a database of Million faces and expect results within a second. This allows for highy scalable applications with an extremely easy to use API.

This example demonstrates usage of FaceDB to query an embedding from a DB of 50 faces of FIFA celebrities. Please go through code to understand FaceDB usage.

> This example only works in Linux. FaceDB is currently not available for Windows.
