LanceDB

LanceDB is an open-source vector database built on the Lance columnar format, offering embedded usage (no server) and a serverless cloud option. It supports multimodal data, blazing-fast queries on large datasets, and seamless interop with pandas, PyArrow, and LangChain.

Chroma

Developer-friendly vector database. Embeds in-process or runs as a server. Great for prototyping RAG applications quickly.
