MyScale

Distributed open-source vector DB built for billion-scale.

Cloud-native, Apache-2.0 vector database for similarity search at scale, powering RAG, semantic and multimodal search, and recommendations. Its distributed architecture separates storage and compute and supports many index types (HNSW, IVF, FLAT, DiskANN, SCANN) with quantization and mmap. Created by Zilliz, which offers the managed Zilliz Cloud.

Open-source, Rust-based vector DB. Fast, predictable, self-hostable.

Vector database written in Rust with a strong focus on filtering, payloads, and predictable latency at scale. Self-host on a single binary or use the managed cloud.

Open-source vector database with built-in vectorisers.

Cloud-native vector DB that can compute embeddings inline — pass raw text in, store vectors out. Strong hybrid (BM25 + vector) search; self-hostable or managed.

Vector similarity search inside Postgres. The pragmatic default.

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.
