Non-Metric Space Library (NMSLIB): An efficient similarity search library and a toolkit for evaluation of k-NN methods for generic non-metric spaces. (by nmslib)
Weaviate
Weaviate is an open-source vector database that stores both objects and vectors, allowing for the combination of vector search with structured filtering with the fault tolerance and scalability of a cloud-native database. (by weaviate)

The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

The Missing ”WHERE” Clause for Vector Search
Amazon's Opensearch (fork of Elasticsearch) natively supports vector-based approximate KNN (using https://github.com/nmslib/nmslib/) which is integrated with Opensearch's native filtering functionality. Elasticsearch also has similar functionality, but I don't know if their KNN code scales quite as well.

Vector Search Indexes
nmslib (https://github.com/nmslib/nmslib) supports sparse vectors for some of its spaces. It has fewer indexing methods than faiss, though.

Are there more practical tools for KNN searches and storing documents/embeddings?
I also needed to build a similar system and I used nmslib, maybe check it out - https://github.com/nmslib/nmslib

How to use Weaviate to store and query vector embeddings
In this tutorial, I introduce Weaviate, an open-source vector database, with the thenlper/gte-base embedding model from Alibaba, through Hugging Face's transformers library.

Do we think about vector dbs wrong?
Hey @rvrs, I work on Weaviate and we are doing some improvements around increasing write throughput:
1. gRPC. Using gRPC to write vectors has had a really nice performance boost. It is released in Weaviate core but here is still some work on do on the clients. Feel free to get in contact if you would like to try it out.
2. Parameter tuning. lowering `efConstruction` can speed up imports.
3. We are also working on async indexing https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate/issues/3463 which will further speed things up.
In comparison with pgvector, Weaviate has more flexible query options such as hybrid search and quantization to save memory on larger datasets.
