ChromaDB

An open-source, developer-friendly vector database for storing and searching embeddings.

Definition

ChromaDB is an open-source vector database designed to be easy for developers to set up and use. It stores embeddings alongside their source text and metadata, then retrieves the most similar entries to a query vector. Its lightweight, embeddable design makes it a common starting point for retrieval-augmented generation and semantic search in prototypes and small applications.
