Reviewer scorecard
“pip install chromadb and you're running. The best DX for prototyping RAG applications. Move to Pinecone when you scale.”
“SQL + markdown = BI dashboards. Version control your analytics like code. Genius simplicity.”
“Fine for prototypes but not production-ready at scale. No managed cloud, limited query capabilities. A stepping stone.”
“For teams that think in SQL, Evidence produces better dashboards than clicking through Metabase or Tableau.”
“Democratizing vector search by making it dead simple. The SQLite of vector databases.”
“Code-based BI aligns analytics with engineering best practices — version control, review, testing.”
