Choose dingo if…
- dingo is primarily Java; infinity is C++.
- Tags unique to dingo: embedding-search, embedding-store, key-value-distributed-store, mysql-compatibility.
- 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
Choose infinity if…
- infinity is primarily C++; dingo is Java.
- Tags unique to infinity: ai-native, approximate-nearest-neighbor-search, bm25, cpp20.
- When your application requires rapid hybrid search capabilities across multiple data types including tensors and full texts.
When NOT to use infinity
- If your project does not benefit from fast hybrid search features or if you prefer not to use an AI-native database solution.
- When support for only dense vectors is sufficient, and the added complexity of supporting tensors and full texts is unnecessary.
