AI and machine learning engineers, data scientists, and application developers building RAG pipelines, semantic search, chatbots, or LLM-powered features who need a self-hosted embedding store they fully control.
Problems it solves
- Standing up and configuring a vector database for embeddings from scratch.
- Adding fast semantic search and RAG retrieval to LLM applications.
- Keeping embedding data self-hosted in your own environment for privacy and control.Key benefits
- Store, index, and query embeddings for semantic search and RAG out of the box.

Confirmed means matched to a public authoritative registry. Claimed means the vendor or its listing states it, not yet cross-checked. A framework not shown was not found in any source we hold, which is not evidence against it. Not listed means a scoped registry check found no match for this vendor's domain: a No is a scoped registry check, not a compliance judgment. Confidence bands: 95% domain-verified, 90% registry-checked, 80% self-attested, 70% weak signal. Self-attested items marked “vendor's site” are gathered from the vendor's own website and are not verified by us.

Unknown means this listing does not publish a repository. It is not a statement that the code is closed, and a linked repository is not a claim that the publisher wrote it: the registry computes that relationship privately and does not publish it.
Evidence risk is the share of the build you cannot see before you deploy, not a security rating. Sign in to see the layer-by-layer basis for this band.
