A lightweight, lightning-fast, in-process vector database - alibaba/zvec
Summary

Alibaba's open-source Zvec is a battle-tested, in-process vector database for low-latency similarity search, supporting dense and sparse vectors with full-text search and hybrid retrieval. The v0.5.0 release adds a DiskANN index for memory-efficient scaling and new Go and Rust SDKs; write-ahead logging guarantees persistence across crashes. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, supports concurrent reads and exclusive single-writer access, and can be embedded in edge devices.
