- federationfive 3y agoRedis is probably better suited
- gk1 3y agoI work for Pinecone so my bias is obvious, but objectively: Pinecone is ranked as the most popular vector DB according to multiple sources [1][2][3][4], the best funded ($100M Series B), and is used in production by the likes of Shopify, Gong, Plaid, Zapier, Midjourney, CVS, and thousands of others.

- dmezzetti 3y agoCouple relatively recent HN threads that give a good overview of the vector database landscape. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36943318 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36943318 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38416994 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38416994 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38420554 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38420554
- fzliu 3y agoRegarding "future-proof-ness": we've been building production-grade vector search since 2018 and have a number of organizations running it at billion+ scale in production environments. It's all open source too. https://milvus.io https://milvus.io
