A simple and easy to use solution that can run on a two-course CPU
We collect customer's feedback, and then we present it to the clients It's very easy to set up and runs easily. It doesn't require great hardware and can run on a two-course CPU with four gigs. The hybrid algorithm needs improvement. I have been using Chroma for one year.  I had some trouble…

Vector search has reduced duplicate citizen proposals and empowers richer democratic participation
I had problems integrating the vector directly into Supabase, so I had to use Google Vertex to generate the embeddings and the information I needed in the database. It would be nice if all of this could be integrated all in one place with Supabase. I would prefer not to have to use a different or external tool to create these embeddings. It would be nice to have everything integrated in the same way. Apart from that, I think that is one of the cons I found, but it is basic. That was my main concern in that regard. My advice for others looking into using Supabase Vector is to take into account how you are going to create the embeddings, as it is not an option implemented straight away in Supabase. You will need to handle the embeddings with an external tool, so make sure to consider how these integrations are going to be made.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its documentation, which allows new users to easily learn, deploy, and use it."
"It's very easy to set up and runs easily."
"Supabase Vector positively impacts my organization by reducing the cost of the LLMs."
"Supabase enables us to lower the skill floor while keeping the ceiling high."
"Supabase Vector rapidly increases the speed and efficiency with which I search through a database, helping with my data analysis tasks."
"Supabase Vector is easy to set up and cost-effective because the alternative is Firebase, which requires a credit card."
"The most valuable part using Supabase Vector is how complex things I was able to build and deploy in a short period of time."
"The platform's role-level security feature is quite effective for spatial data management."
"We completed what we initially estimated as a fifteen-day job in just three days, thanks to the Supabase dashboards and triggers."
"Supabase Vector has positively impacted our organization as it is very convenient since our business databases are already hosted in Supabase, making integration easy."
 

Cons

"The hybrid algorithm needs improvement."
"I think Chroma doesn't have a ready-made containerized image available."
"I think there are still many Postgres features that can be developed further by the Supabase team."
"I think the support system can be better because after Supabase Vector stopped working in India, there is no support."
"One area for the solution improvement is the inclusion of more sample code in various programming languages, particularly PHP."
"I notice that the schema visualizer can be improved. Additionally, the internal AI assistant powered by GPT can also be improved."
"It would be nice if all of this could be integrated all in one place with Supabase."
"One improvement I feel Supabase Vector could benefit from is that Supabase SDK stands out when comparing with a conventional Postgres SDK, and it would be even nicer if we could have a more direct way for access."
