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.

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.
