Matches for "postgres"

19 repos

Rust-based vector database — fast, production-grade, Apache 2.0. Good developer experience and clear pricing if you use their managed cloud. Strong choice if Postgres+pgvector cannot handle your scale…

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You need production-grade vector search at scale and Postgres is hitting limits.

You are starting fresh on Postgres — pgvector is enough for most apps.

qdrant/qdrantView

chroma-core

chroma

AI-native embedding database designed for rapid prototyping. Easy to run locally, tight LangChain integration. Better for hackathons and internal tools than huge production deployments.

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You are prototyping RAG, building an internal tool, or bundling a vector DB into a desktop/local app.

You expect millions of vectors in production — look at Qdrant, Weaviate, or pgvector.

chroma-core/chromaView

pgvector

Vector search inside Postgres. ~12k stars and dominant in 2026 as the boring-but-correct default. If you already have Postgres (Supabase, Neon, RDS), do not add another database — just install this ex…

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You are already on Postgres and want vector search without operating a second database.

You need billion-scale vector search with millisecond latency — a dedicated vector DB is worth the operational cost.

pgvector/pgvectorView

milvus-io

milvus

Open-source vector DB with the most mature features for huge scale. ~30k stars. Steeper operational burden than Qdrant. Used in production by companies doing serious vector workloads.

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You are running vector search at extreme scale with a team that can operate distributed systems.

You are a small team — Qdrant or pgvector will be enough and easier to run.

milvus-io/milvusView

weaviate

Vector DB with strong hybrid search (vector + keyword) and built-in modules for common embedding workflows. Slightly higher learning curve than Qdrant but powerful for production RAG.

AI & MLDatabase & ORM

You need hybrid keyword + vector search and want it built in rather than bolted on.

You only need pure vector search — Qdrant is simpler.

weaviate/weaviateView

supabase

Postgres + Auth + Storage + Realtime + Edge Functions in one open-source platform. ~73k stars. The fastest way to ship a backend in 2026 for solo founders and small teams. Mumbai region for India late…

Database & ORMAuthentication

You are a solo founder or small team shipping a SaaS or mobile app and want one backend service.

You need NoSQL specifically, or your team has strong DevOps and wants raw Postgres.

supabase/supabaseView

drizzle-team

drizzle-orm

TypeScript-first ORM with SQL-like syntax. ~25k stars. Lighter than Prisma, zero codegen step, faster cold starts on serverless. Becoming the default for new Next.js + Postgres projects.

Database & ORM

You are on Postgres/MySQL/SQLite, write TypeScript, and want SQL-like queries with type safety.

Your team prefers a high-level ORM with relations resolved magically — Prisma is more polished.

drizzle-team/drizzle-ormView

prisma

The polished ORM. ~38k stars. Best developer experience for relational data, declarative schema, generated client. Trade-off: cold starts on serverless are slower than Drizzle, and the abstraction can…

Database & ORM

Your team values DX over performance and most queries are CRUD on relational data.

You are running on Edge or Vercel functions where cold start matters — Drizzle is faster.

prisma/prismaView

typeorm

Decorator-based ORM, used heavily in NestJS ecosystem. Battle-tested but development pace has slowed. Drizzle and Prisma are the newer defaults for greenfield projects.

Database & ORM

You are on NestJS where TypeORM is the expected default.

You are starting a new project — pick Drizzle or Prisma.

typeorm/typeormView

planetscale

database-js

Serverless-first MySQL client. Good when you are on PlanetScale specifically. Works well with Drizzle as the driver.

Database & ORM

You are on PlanetScale or another Vitess-based MySQL service.

You are not on PlanetScale — pick a database first.

planetscale/database-jsView

pocketbase

Single-file Go backend with SQLite, auth, file storage, realtime. ~40k stars. Pocket-sized Supabase alternative. Great for indie projects, prototypes, and self-hosted internal tools.

Database & ORMAuthentication

You want a single binary you can drop on a VPS for an indie project, prototype, or internal tool.

You are scaling past ~10k users or need Postgres-specific features.

pocketbase/pocketbaseView

kysely-org

kysely

Type-safe SQL query builder for TypeScript. Lower level than Drizzle/Prisma — closer to writing raw SQL with types. Best when you really want to think in SQL.

Database & ORM

You write complex SQL and want type safety without an ORM abstraction.

You want schema migration tooling and a managed query layer — pick Drizzle.

kysely-org/kyselyView

edgedb

Graph-relational database with EdgeQL. Beautiful query language, strong types, very opinionated. Smaller ecosystem so harder to hire for.

Database & ORM

You are a small founding team that loves typed query languages and is okay with smaller community.

You need to hire developers fast or integrate with the broader Postgres ecosystem.

edgedb/edgedbView

TanStack

query

The #1-rated tool in the React 2025 survey. Async state management — fetching, caching, syncing server state. Not a state library exactly but solves what most React apps actually needed Redux for. Def…

State ManagementDatabase & ORM

You are fetching data from any API in React. Yes, you need this.

You are on Next.js App Router with mostly server components — fetch directly on the server.

TanStack/queryView

directus

Headless CMS layered on top of any SQL database. ~28k stars. Strong when you have an existing database and want a no-code admin UI bolted on.

CMS & ContentDatabase & ORM

You have an existing Postgres/MySQL DB and want a CMS admin UI without migrating schema.

You are starting fresh — Payload is more modern.

directus/directusView

TanStack

New 2026 entry from TanStack — local-first reactive DB for offline-capable apps. Worth watching but ecosystem is still young.

CMS & ContentDatabase & ORMState Management

You are building an offline-first app and want to bet on the TanStack stack.

You need production maturity today — wait 6-12 months.

TanStack/dbView

umami-software

umami

Self-hosted Plausible alternative. ~22k stars. Free if you can run a Node process and a Postgres database.

Analytics

You want privacy-friendly analytics and can self-host.

You do not want to run another service — Plausible managed is cheap.

umami-software/umamiView

meilisearch

Fast, typo-tolerant search engine in Rust. ~48k stars. Easiest search engine to operate — single binary, sensible defaults, great DX. Good middle ground between Postgres full-text and Elasticsearch.

You need user-facing search on a product catalog, docs site, or app.

You need extreme scale or complex aggregations — Elasticsearch still wins.

meilisearch/meilisearchView

docker

compose

Define multi-container apps in a single YAML file. Still the simplest way to run a local dev environment with multiple services (DB, cache, app, worker).…
