M.I.M.I.R - Multi-agent Intelligent Memory & Insight Repository

# Vector Database Research Notes (2024) --- ## Pinecone - **Scalability:** - Fully managed, cloud-native, designed for horizontal scaling to billions of vectors. Multi-tenant and multi-region support. [Manual verification recommended] - **Performance:** - Low-latency vector search (sub-100ms typical), optimized for high throughput. Uses proprietary indexing for fast ANN search. [Manual verification recommended] - **Integration:** - REST API, Python client, JavaScript client, integrations with LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, Hugging Face, and more. - **Ecosystem:** - Strong developer community, extensive documentation, tutorials, and ecosystem integrations (LangChain, OpenAI, etc.). - **Pricing:** - Usage-based pricing (per GB stored, per query, per index). Free tier available. [Manual verification recommended: https://www.pinecone.io/pricing/] - **Operational Complexity:** - Fully managed SaaS; no infrastructure management required. Simple API-based usage. - **Deployment Options:** - Cloud-only (AWS, GCP, Azure). No on-premises or self-hosted option as of 2024. [Manual verification recommended] - **Security/Compliance:** - SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control.

Can handle billions of vectors. [Manual verification recommended] - **Performance:** - Real-time vector search, sub-100ms latency, supports hybrid (vector+keyword) search. Uses HNSW and other ANN algorithms. - **Integration:** - REST API, GraphQL API, Python/JavaScript/Go clients, integrations with LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, Hugging Face, and more. - **Ecosystem:** - Open-source, active community, plugin system, cloud and self-hosted options, strong documentation. - **Pricing:** - Open-source (free), managed cloud (usage-based pricing). [Manual verification recommended: https://weaviate.io/pricing] - **Operational Complexity:** - Managed cloud (Weaviate Cloud Service) or self-hosted (Docker, Kubernetes). Operational complexity depends on deployment mode. - **Deployment Options:** - Managed cloud, self-hosted (on-premises, any cloud, Docker, Kubernetes). - **Security/Compliance:** - Encryption in transit, authentication/authorization, GDPR, SOC 2 (cloud), RBAC.
