The easiest vector database to get started with — pip install chromadb, in-process or server mode.
Aimed at AI developers building RAG prototypes, not at ops teams running 10 TB databases. SQLite-backed embedded mode for local development. Strong integration with LangChain and LlamaIndex. Competition: Qdrant (more prod-ready), Weaviate, FAISS (index only, not a DB). Chroma Cloud launched in 2024.
