About Chroma
Chroma is an open-source vector database engineered for simplicity and developer velocity. Designed to run both in-memory, embedded within local Python or TypeScript processes, and as a distributed client-server architecture, Chroma empowers engineers to add semantic search and memory to AI applications in minutes.
- Lightweight in-memory mode runs with zero external database dependencies
- First-class SDK support for both Python and TypeScript / JavaScript
- Permissive Apache 2.0 open-source license with active community support
- Horizontal scaling at massive scale (billions of vectors) requires distributed cluster setup
- Less complex query DSL compared to relational search engines
