I was thinking about intertwining Vector and Graph, because I have one specific usecase that required this combination. But I am not courageos or competent enough to build such a DB. So I am very excited to see this project and I am certainly going to use it. One question is what kind of hardware do you think this would require ? I am asking it because from what I understand Graph database performance is directly proportional to the amount of RAM it has and Vectors also needs persistence and computational resources .

The fortunate thing about our vector DB, like I mentioned in the post, is that we store the HNSW on disk. So, it is much less intense on your memory. Similar thing to what turbo puffer has done.

With regard to the graph db, we mostly use our laptops to test it and haven't run into an issue with performance yet on any size dataset.

If you wanna chat DM me on X :)
