  • Are we at peak vector database?

    Traditional DBs already kinda support vector DBs via pg_vector extensions and such.

    There is a YC startup, latnern, that also built their own extension for postgres that is open source and is better for vector DB use cases: https://github.com/lanterndata/lantern

    But yeah! Traditional DBs already support this, if you consider this extension to be part of Postgres.

    This extension is licensed under the Business Source License[0], which makes it incompatible with most DBaaS offerings. The BSL is a closed-source license. Good choice for Lantern, but unusable for everyone else.

    Some Postgres offerings allow you to bring your own extensions, for instance Neon[1], where I work. I tried to look at AWS docs for you, but couldn't find anything about that. I did find Trusted Language Extensions[2], but that seems to be more about writing your own extension. Couldn't find a way to upload arbitrary extensions.
