Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Let’s build AI-tools with the help of AI and Typescript!
Package installer for Python (pip), we use this for installing the Python-based packages, such as Jupyter Lab, and we're going to use this for installing other Python-based tools like the Chroma DB vector database

7 Vector Databases Every Developer Should Know!
Chroma DB is a newer entrant in the vector database arena, designed specifically for handling high-dimensional color vectors. It's particularly useful for applications in digital media, e-commerce, and content discovery, where color similarity plays a crucial role in search and recommendation algorithms.

Vector Databases: A Technical Primer [pdf]
For Python I believe Chroma [1] can be used embedded.
For Go I recently started building chromem-go, inspired by the Chroma interface: https://github.com/philippgille/chromem-go
It's neither advanced nor for scale yet, but the RAG demo works.

SQLite vs. Chroma: A Comparative Analysis for Managing Vector Embeddings
Whether you’re navigating through well-known options like SQLite, enriched with the sqlite-vss extension, or exploring other avenues like Chroma, an open-source vector database, selecting the right tool is paramount. This article compares these two choices, guiding you through the pros and cons of each, helping you choose the right tool for storing and querying vector embeddings for your project.

How to use Chroma to store and query vector embeddings
Create a new project directory for our example project. Next, we need to clone the Chroma repository to get started. At the root of your project directory let's clone Chroma into it:

Pg_vectorize: The simplest way to do vector search and RAG on Postgres
There's an issue in the pgvector repo about someone having several ~10-20million row tables and getting acceptable performance with the right hardware and some performance tuning: https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector/issues/455
I'm in the early stages of evaluating pgvector myself. but having used pinecone I currently am liking pgvector better because of it being open source. The indexing algorithm is clear, one can understand and modify the parameters. Furthermore the database is postgresql, not a proprietary document store. When the other data in the problem is stored relationally, it is very convenient to have the vectors stored like this as well. And postgresql has good observability and metrics. I think when it comes to flexibility for specialized applications, pgvector seems like the clear winner. But I can definitely see pinecone's appeal if vector search is not a core component of the problem/business, as it is very easy to use and scales very easily
