Reviewer scorecard
“Simplest vector DB to get started with. Serverless pricing means you only pay for what you use. Great for RAG.”
“Turn SQL queries into instant APIs. The real-time ingestion and ClickHouse performance are impressive.”
“Vendor lock-in with no self-hosting option. pgvector gives you vectors in your existing Postgres — simpler architecture.”
“If you need real-time analytics APIs, Tinybird eliminates the infrastructure complexity. The SQL-to-API model is clean.”
“Purpose-built vector databases will outperform bolted-on vector features as embedding workloads grow more complex.”
“Real-time analytics as an API is the right abstraction for modern data-driven applications.”
