Vearch is a cloud-native distributed vector database for efficient similarity search of embedding vectors in your AI applications.

• Hybrid search: Both vector search and scalar filtering.

• Performance: Fast vector retrieval - search from millions of objects in milliseconds.

• Scalability & Reliability: Replication and elastic scaling out.

Vearch Architecture

Master: Responsible for schema management, cluster-level metadata, and resource coordination.

Router: Provides RESTful API: upsert, delete, search and query; request routing, and result merging.

PartitionServer (PS): Hosts document partitions with raft-based replication. Gamma is the core vector search engine implemented based on faiss. It provides the ability of storing, indexing and retrieving the vectors and scalars.
