What Hacker News says?
Seems like a nice abstraction. Since I see DuckDB mentioned, folks wanting serverless may also be interested in LanceDB, written in Rust, with most features built out for Python. https://lancedb.com/ https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb Side note, I wrote a proof of concept of embeddings generator being handled inside PostgreSQL, independent of the index. https://github.com/Hendler/flame
