Re:Choosing vector database: a side-by-side comparison

I made this table to compare vector databases in order to help me choose the best one for a new project. I spent quite a few hours on it, so I wanted to share it here too in hopes it might help others as well. My main criteria when choosing vector DB were the speed, scalability, dx, community and price. You'll find all of the comparison parameters in the article.

I'm curious where got the numbers on qps? They are pretty different from our experience. Reached out on LinkedIn. ;)

Happy to connect. The benchmark numbers are mostly from ANN Benchmarks. For my use case, the nytimes-256 dataset was most relevant so I used that for the QPS benchmark. I also took a look at the benchmarks you've made at https://qdrant.tech/benchmarks/ and there qdrant seems to be outperforming many others. If I've gotten something wrong here, I'm glad to update the article :)
