Decision brief
Weaviate is an open-source vector database that supports vector search and structured filtering, offering fault tolerance and scalability. It supports deployment via Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud services.
Good fit when
- When you need a vector database that supports both vector search and structured filtering, as Weaviate uniquely combines these capabilities.
- If you require a cloud-native database with fault tolerance and scalability, Weaviate is designed to meet these needs.
Avoid when
- If your project strictly requires a proprietary solution, Weaviate, being open-source under the BSD 3-Clause License, may not be the best fit.
- If your application does not require vector search or structured filtering, Weaviate's specialized capabilities might be overkill.
