Chroma
Chroma is an AI-native, open-source search and retrieval database used for semantic search and RAG. It supports vector, full-text, regex, and metadata search, and ships with Python and TypeScript clients. Developers can run Chroma locally for rapid prototyping or use Chroma Cloud to scale to terabytes with an object-storage–backed, serverless architecture. The cloud offers a web dashboard, API keys, collaboration, and usage-based pricing.
