Hey @rvrs, I work on Weaviate and we are doing some improvements around increasing write throughput: 1. gRPC. Using gRPC to write vectors has had a really nice performance boost. It is released in Weaviate core but here is still some work o

There are two reasons that self-hosted is expensive, both having no relation to real costs. 1. If you are self-hosting, you have now segmented yourself into the customer category with the government, military, and large corporates concerned

I'm not a fan of competitors creating benchmarks like this as when faced with any tuning decision, they will usually pick the one the makes their competitors slower. But anyway lets take a look at how they tuned Elasticsearch. Disclaim

My setup is the following: 1. Ubiquiti ER-X 2. Ubiquiti AP Lite x 2 (upstairs and downstairs) 3. Inbuilt Cat6 cabling in house The benefit of this approach is I get to use prosumer hardware but at reasonable cost (total < $350 AUD). For
