milvus-lite VS awesome-vector-search

Github Repository

Shameless self-plug for our embedded vector database milvus-lite (https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus-lite):

    pip install milvus

Don't start with Milvus clustered version, not unless you have like 100million vectors.

Try Milvus standalone instead, much simpler. I also just found their python version (https://github.com/milvus-io/embd-milvus), which is quite neat.

Probably. But there are a number of free open source ones. For example, I've got a document that I'm doing embedding-keys for that has about 8000 sentences. Here's a list of some [ https://github.com/currentslab/awesome-vector-search ]

note: search for vector databases not written in Go but with Go clients, in case there is anything more local/lightweight: https://github.com/currentslab/awesome-vector-search

I was surprised to see Elastic actually has ok support for some of this stuff, though it appears slower for most of the tasks.

Supporting sequence of vectors does seems like a fresh air to the vector search service. I have added marqo to the list of awesome vector search (disclosure: I am the maintainer of the list) to increase your exposure.

If you want a proper curated list of various libraries and standalone services of vector search engines, refer to this awesome GitHub repository by Currents API.
