FAISS vs ChromaDB - Vector Search Comparison

comparison between FAISS and ChromaDB, two distinct tools for vector similarity search in AI applications. FAISS is presented as a high-performance, single-node library with various indexing algorithms like Flat, IVF, LSH, and HNSW, offering granular control. In contrast, ChromaDB is a full-fledged vector database supporting both single-node and distributed deployments with native metadata handling, though it primarily uses HNSW. The document further explains HNSW in detail, outlining its hierarchical structure, search process, and key parameters while also addressing its limitations. Finally, it introduces Milvus as an extension for FAISS, adding scalability and metadata support, and provides guidelines on when to use each technology based on project requirements.
