[P] Epsilla: a scalable, fully distributed vector database (alien.top)

Hi everyone!

Three months ago we launched Epsilla open source vector database. Since then we have been iterating. Today I'm excited to share the first production oriented launch: Epsilla v0.1 -- a scalable, fully distributed vector database.

The launch focuses scalability and reliability, including sharding vector data for efficient horizontal scaling; Multi-replica configuration for high availability and increased throughput; Dynamic sharding expansion and auto-scaling replicas to meet data growth and traffic demands.

We wanted to get your feedback and work together to shape our vector database features. Let us know what you think and what you'd like to see!

Why should I use this instead of opensearch or Postgres?

Being faster/more efficient today isn’t enough to put me off the plugins for these two well known workhorses which bake in years or decades of industry use as well as in cloud and onsite feature parity.

I don’t want to be too harsh but it looks like you’re rebuilding basic DB features whereas Postgres is just finetuning a plug-in.

wow, this looks super promising! Can't wait to give it a try and see how it stacks up against other vector databases. Great work, team Epsilla!
