Best for Engineering teams building large-scale search or RAG systems
Vespa is an open-source platform for building applications that require low-latency computation over large datasets, combining vector search, lexical search, and structured data queries in a single engine. It supports approximate nearest neighbor search, hybrid retrieval, and real-time ranking with machine-learned models, and can scale across clusters for high-throughput workloads. Vespa is suited to engineering teams building search, recommendation, or retrieval-augmented generation systems that need to combine vector similarity with filtering and business logic at scale.
- Hybrid vector and lexical search
- Real-time machine-learned ranking
- Distributed horizontal scaling
