Managed vector database for RAG.
The original managed vector database. Production-grade RAG infrastructure with serverless and pod-based offerings.
Pinecone is the easiest production path — fully managed, predictable performance, zero ops. Weaviate has the best built-in modules (auto-embedding, generative search). Qdrant is the fastest self-hosted option (Rust core). For most early-stage projects, Pinecone's Serverless tier wins on time-to-RAG.
Serverless scales by usage — no sizing decision required. For pod-based, start with one s1.x1 pod per ~1M vectors at 1536 dimensions, then monitor query latency and scale up the pod tier (not count) before sharding.
