Scale to millions with serverless indexing

Scale effortlessly without compromising database performance by offloading vector index creation to a separate machine from your main database.

Vector search

Vector search with pgvector

Search over sparse and dense vectors, with support for binary, scalar, and product compression. Scale seamlessly to millions and beyond with serverless indexing.

Text search

Text search with BM25

Use the BM25 ranking algorithm - the industry standard used in ElasticSearch - for more relevant text search results, surpassing the default full text search capabilities in Postgres.

Hybrid search

Hybrid search

Combine vector search and BM25 text search using RRF or other reranking algorithms for better results.

Performance comparison

Features that scale with your needs

Infinite scalability - Use as many or as little resources as you'd like, depending on your needs. Performance - Build or update indexes without slowing down your database. Seamless integration - Simply add external=true to vector index creation.
