pgvectorscale changed how I think about search. Once the index fits in shared_buffers, latency drops to single-digit ms at scale. The catch is tuning work_mem per query, not globally, or you'll blow RAM fast.

My main stack 2025 has been JSDoc annotated JavaScript, Go and PostgreSQL, on macOS and Ubuntu. Notable other deps: Caddy, pgvectorscale, pgx, tern, sqlc, TailwindCSS, Hetzner and good old Ansible. Claude Code is rapidly becoming my main IDE, alongside VS Code. Really wanted to like Zed, but failed.

PGVECTOR VS QDRANT: You don’t need a specialized vector database for large scale. Postgres is all you need.

Just rescaled a production Hetzner virtual server from Intel to AMD by accident and bricked Postgres. Could rescue by rebuilding pgvectorscale extension, though. Looking good so far. Phew. 😅

#PostgreSQL all the way down, with pgvector and pgvectorscale extensions. Embedding is done in rounds, collecting 25 only English posts&profile texts by a mixed score of recency and text length, then averaging for the account embedding.

While there are niche use cases that do benefit from a dedicated vector database like Qdrant, pgvector and pgvectorscale enables 99% of developers to start and scale confidently with just PostgreSQL.

pgvectorscale augments pgvector with StreamingDiskANN, making larger-than-RAM vector indexes achievable in Postgres.

It also adds statistical binary quantization for improved search recall over regular quantization.

PlanetScale supports both. Try them today.

1. Mainstream SQL (PostgreSQL)
2. New SQL (PostgreSQL w Citus, Hydra, pg_duckdb etc)
3. Document (PostgreSQL w Pongo, Ferretdb etc)
4. Vector (PostgreSQL w pgvector, pgvectorscale, pgai, pg_vectorize etc)
I think you could get a bit more diverse than this though!

Pick one from each category:

1. Mainstream SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite)
2. New SQL (Cockroach, TiDB, Yugabyte, Oceanbase)
3. Document (Mongo, Elasticsearch, FaunaDB, Meilisearch, Quickwit, VictoriaLogs)

Second: hybrid search, natively.

pgvectorscale (our improved fork) for semantic search - higher throughput, better recall, lower latency than pgvector.

pg_textsearch (new extension) implements BM25 for ranked keyword search. In-memory for now, disk-based segments with compression coming soon.

a yes, thanks - and there's also a sqlite-vec and sqlite-vector
this says better throughput: www.tigerdata.com/blog/pgvecto...
this goes into detail why it adds complexity
