[D] What features would you like to see in a vector search database?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/MachineLearning

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • 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​.

    We are looking into this at Weaviate as well, running a few experiments to understand how well averaging embedding vectors can preserve the semantics of the group: https://github.com/semi-technologies/weaviate/issues/2087.

  • reframe

    Discontinued LeapTable 🦘- The fastest way to build, deploy, and manage LLM-powered agents on tabular data (dataframes, SQL tables and Spreadsheets). [Moved to: https://github.com/peterwnjenga/leaptable]

    Code Link: https://github.com/nnextdb/nnext

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • filterbox

    Discontinued Index your Python objects for fast lookup by their attributes. [Moved to: https://github.com/manimino/ducks]

    After playing with ANNOY and FAISS for a little while, I hit exactly that problem. I ended up writing two Python libraries for fast "object search by metadata" - FilterBox and LiteBox. They are both designed to complement vector search, as they only deal with the metadata portion of the objects and leave the vectors alone.

  • litebox

    Container for finding Python objects by attributes, using SQLite (by manimino)

  • vector-search-compilation

    Discontinued A compilation of Vector Search Databases

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
