A pgvector fork with the performance of Pinecone
Hi friends, Excited to share our latest project, pgvector-remote, with you all! pgvector-remote is an extension designed to effortlessly incorporate remote vector stores, like Pinecone, into pgvector. With pgvector-remote, harnessing the power of a remote (Pinecone) index becomes as easy as utilizing ivfflat or hnsw. Why pgvector-remote? 1. Simplifies integration of memory-intensive vector indexes like Pinecone into standard database servers. 2. Addresses critical feature gaps in pgvector, such as metadata filtering for AI applications. 3. Hides the complexity of maintaining and…
A pgvector fork with the performance of Pinecone launched on April 16, 2024 with 10 votes, #1,165 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
pgvector-remote is a PostgreSQL extension that integrates remote vector stores like Pinecone directly into pgvector. It enables developers to leverage remote vector indexes with the same simplicity as built-in pgvector methods while achieving sub-10ms latency and supporting metadata filtering. The extension combines Pinecone's performance characteristics with PostgreSQL's SQL compatibility and transaction support, eliminating the need for users to manage separate vector store infrastructure.

PGlite – in-browser WASM Postgres with pgvector and live sync2024 · pglite.dev · ▲509Hey, Sam and the team from ElectricSQL here. PGlite is a WASM Postgres build packaged into a TypeScript/JavaScript client library, that enables you to run Postgres in the browser, Node.js and Bun, with no need to install any other dependencies. It's 3mb Gzipped, now has support for many Postgres extensions, including pgvector, and it has a reactive "live query" API. It's also fast, with CRUD style queries executing in under 0.3 ms, and larger, multi-row select queries occurring within a fraction of a single frame. PGlite started as an experimental project we shared on X, and the…

If you build apps with a lot of traffic, you know the first thing to break is the database. We are solving this with a network proxy that works without requiring application code changes or database migrations. Our post from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44099187 The most important update: we are in production. Sharding is used a lot, with direct-to-shard queries (one shard per query) working pretty much…
