- When you prioritize ease of use without the need to define complex schemas or manage vector indexing details manually.
When NOT to use awadb
- When the requirement is for a database that can also function seamlessly on Windows without docker deployment complexities.
- If you need extensive customization of vector embedding processes beyond what AwaDB offers with its default integrations like SentenceTransformer.
Choose dingo if…
- dingo is primarily Java; awadb is C++.
- Tags unique to dingo: embedding-search, embedding-store, hybrid-search, key-value-distributed-store.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- You need a unified SQL interface for vector queries on diverse data types
When NOT to use dingo
- If your application strictly demands non-SQL interfaces for querying
- When the Apache-2.0 license is incompatible with your project requirements
