Overview
Vearch is a cloud-native distributed vector database for efficient similarity search of embedding vectors in your AI applications.
Key features
Hybrid search: Both vector search and scalar filtering.
Performance: Fast vector retrieval - search from millions of objects in milliseconds.
Scalability & Reliability: Replication and elastic scaling out.

SDK
| SDK | Description | |--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------| | Python SDK | Python client for Vearch | | Go SDK | Go client for Vearch | | Java SDK | Java client for Vearch | | Rust SDK | Rust client for Vearch |
Usage Cases
Use Vearch as a Memory Backend
Vearch integrates with popular AI frameworks:
| Framework | Integration | |-----------|-------------| | Langchain | Use Vearch as vector store in Langchain | | LlamaIndex | Integrate with LlamaIndex for knowledge bases | | Langchaingo | Go implementation of Langchain with Vearch support | | LangChain4j | Java implementation with Vearch integration |
Real world Demos
- VisualSearch: Vearch can be leveraged to build a complete visual search system to index billions of images. The image retrieval plugin for object detection and feature extraction is also required.
Quick start
```
Via Helm Repository
$ helm repo add vearch https://vearch.github.io/vearch-helm $ helm repo update && helm install my-release vearch/vearch
Or from Local Charts
$ git clone https://github.com/vearch/vearch-helm.git && cd vearch-helm $ helm install my-release ./charts -f ./charts/values.yaml ```
Docker Compose Deployment
```
Standalone Mode
$ cd cloud && cp ../config/config.toml . $ docker-compose --profile standalone up -d
Cluster Mode
$ cd cloud && cp ../config/config_cluster.toml . $ docker-compose --profile cluster up -d ```
Other Deployment Methods - DeployByDocker: Deploy Vearch by Docker - SourceCompileDeployment: Compile Vearch from source code
Components
Vearch Architecture

Master: Responsible for schema management, cluster-level metadata, and resource coordination.
Router: Provides RESTful API: upsert, delete, search and query; request routing, and result merging.
PartitionServer (PS): Hosts document partitions with raft-based replication. Gamma is the core vector search engine implemented based on faiss. It provides the ability of storing, indexing and retrieving the vectors and scalars.
