Vector Database Comparison
PGVector - PostgreSQL extension
- Best for: Existing PostgreSQL infrastructure
- Pros: ACID compliance, familiar SQL, low ops overhead
- Cons: Limited scale without sharding
Pinecone - Managed vector database
- Best for: Production scale, minimal ops
- Pros: Fully managed, fast, filtering support
- Cons: Vendor lock-in, cost at scale
Chroma - Open source, developer-friendly
- Best for: Prototyping, local development
- Pros: Simple API, good LangChain integration
- Cons: Less mature for production
Qdrant - Performance-focused
- Best for: Complex filtering, high performance
- Pros: Excellent filtering, payload storage
- Cons: Smaller community
Embedding Model Selection
I help you choose the right embedding model:
- OpenAI text-embedding-3-large: Best overall quality
- Cohere embed-v3: Good for multilingual
- BGE/E5: Open source, self-hosted
- Sentence Transformers: Custom fine-tuning
