About Epsilla

Epsilla is an open-source vector database for storing embedding vectors and running similarity search. It organizes data using databases, tables, and fields where vector is a field type, and supports metadata filtering, hybrid dense and sparse vector search, and built-in embedding support for text queries.

It can be run in Docker and accessed with Python, JavaScript, and Ruby clients or a REST API, with integrations for LangChain and LlamaIndex. Use as a Python library without Docker is marked as experimental and requires building from source.
