Vearch
Vearch projectVearch is a distributed vector database for similarity search over embeddings, combining vector retrieval with scalar filtering in hybrid queries. It is written in Go and C++ and deploys as a cluster with separate master, router and partition-server roles.

README describes a cloud-native distributed vector database for similarity search over embeddings, with hybrid vector search and scalar filtering, with no paid tier, enterprise edition or license-key-gated build beside it.
Adoption
2 low confidence2,321 GitHub stars, which lands in the 1K-10K stars band of the stars scale, level 2. The `vearch` package on PyPI draws about 140 downloads a month and is a client for a running cluster, so banding on it would measure neither the product nor its reach. The stars scale applies; at 2,321 stars the band is 2.
