VectorChord (vchord) is a PostgreSQL extension designed for scalable, high-performance, and disk-efficient vector similarity search, and serves as the successor to pgvecto.rs.
With VectorChord, you can store 400,000 vectors for just $1, enabling significant savings: 6x more vectors compared to Pinecone's optimized storage and 26x more than pgvector/pgvecto.rs for the same price1. For further insights, check out our launch blog post.
⚡ Enhanced Performance: Delivering optimized operations with up to 5x faster queries, 16x higher insert throughput, and 16x quicker2 index building compared to pgvector's HNSW implementation.
💰 Affordable Vector Search: Query 100M 768-dimensional vectors using just 32GB of memory, achieving 35ms P50 latency with top10 recall@95%, helping you keep infrastructure costs down while maintaining high search quality.
🔌 Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with pgvector data types and syntax while providing optimal defaults out of the box - no manual parameter tuning needed. Just drop in VectorChord for enhanced performance.
