- [ChromaDB](https://vectordb.ever.works/items/chromadb) — Chroma is an open-source embedding database optimized for LLM apps, with in-memory/persistent storage and simple Python API. Features: HNSW indexing, automatic batching, metadata filtering, integrations with LangChain/LlamaIndex. Ideal for local dev, prototyping RAG; vs pgvector, easier for Python users; vs full DBs like Milvus, lighter but less scalable.
