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.

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.

Choosing vector database: a side-by-side comparison
This will be solved in Weaviate https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate/issues/2424

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.

Website Search Hurts My Feelings
There are actually plenty of non-ES products that are way easier to integrate and tune (and get better results with less effort).
- Typesense (https://github.com/typesense/typesense)
- Algolia
- Google Programmable Search Engine (https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/)
- Remote Machine Learning and Searching on a Raspberry Pi 5

DNS record "hn.algolia.com" is gone
If you like your penny take a look at Typesense https://typesense.org/ - nothing to complain here. Especially nothing complain about pricing.

Vector databases: analyzing the trade-offs
I work on Typesense [1] (historically considered an open source alternative to Algolia).
We then launched vector search in Jan 2023, and just last week we launched the ability to generate embeddings from within Typesense.
You'd just need to send JSON data, and Typesense can generate embeddings for your data using OpenAI, PaLM API, or built-in models like S-BERT, E-5, etc (running on a GPU if you prefer) [2]
You can then do a hybrid (keyword + semantic) search by just sending the search keywords to Typesense, and Typesense will automatically generate embeddings for you internally and return a ranked list of keyword results weaved with semantic results (using Rank Fusion).
You can also combine filtering, faceting, typo tolerance, etc - the things Typesense already had.

Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL
For something small with a minimal footprint, I'd recommend Typesense. https://github.com/typesense/typesense

Obsidian Publish full text search
I haven’t used Publish, but I’d assume you could use something like https://typesense.org/ to index and search the vault.

DynamoDB search options
A cheaper option would be to use https://typesense.org. You can use DynamoDb streams to automatically load records. It has worked well for me.

Is it worth using Postgres' builtin full-text search or should I go straight to Elastic?
I’m also checking out Typesense as a possibility for replacing Elastic: https://typesense.org/
