Hi everyone!

Over the years, I've found myself building hacky solutions to serve and manage my embeddings. I’m excited to share Embeddinghub, an open-source vector database for ML embeddings. It is built with four goals in mind:

Store embeddings durably and with high availability

Allow for approximate nearest neighbor operations

Enable other operations like partitioning, sub-indices, and averaging

Manage versioning, access control, and rollbacks painlessly

It's still in the early stages, and before we committed more dev time to it we wanted to get your feedback. Let us know what you think and what you'd like to see!

Holy shit, this looks amazing!

I see you've got examples for NLP use cases in your docs. Can't wait to read them. Embeddings are a constant source of complexity when I'm trying to move certain operations to Lambda, this looks like it would speed the initializations up big time.

We're so glad to hear that! We'd love your feedback as we keep building. Please join our community on Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/featureform-community/shared_invite...

Curious about how your solution is different / better than nmslib which I've tried in the past?

which search algorithm does it use?

We use HNSW internally via HNSWLIB, it's the same algorithm that Facebook uses to power their embedding search.

thanks! how did you make the decision to use hnsw over faiss and other search algorithms?
