pgvector

Vector similarity search inside Postgres. The pragmatic default.

OPEN SOURCEAPIVetted

Postgres extension that adds a vector type plus exact and approximate nearest-neighbour search. Pairs naturally with Supabase, Neon, and any managed Postgres. The lowest-friction RAG backend if you already run Postgres.

    Managed vector database. The industry-default serverless option.

    Fully-managed vector DB built for production RAG and semantic search at scale. Serverless pricing, low-latency reads, integrations across every framework. Most Blokz-adjacent AI teams reach for it first.

    Embedded vector DB. Pip-install, prototype, scale later.

    The low-friction starting point — Chroma runs embedded inside your Python process or as a hosted service. Great for prototypes and small-to-medium RAG apps; upgrade to a managed option when you outgrow it.

    Object-storage-backed vector DB. Serverless economics at scale.

    Bills like S3 — cold rest, warm reads, no per-namespace minimums. Designed for very-large, mostly-cold vector workloads where you can't justify keeping every index in RAM. Operated by Notion in production.
