firn
Vector + full-text search on object storage, embeddable in-process. No server, no infrastructure to stand up.
import firn
db = firn.connect() # local ./firn_data
# ...or object storage:
# db = firn.connect(storage_url="s3://bucket",
# access_key=..., secret_key=...)
db.add([
{"id": 1, "vector": [0.1, 0.2, 0.3], "text": "the quick brown fox"},
{"id": 2, "vector": [0.4, 0.5, 0.6], "text": "a lazy dog sleeps"},
])
hits = db.search("fox") # full-text (BM25)
hits = db.search(vector=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3]) # nearest-neighbour
hits = db.search("fox", vector=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3]) # hybrid (fused)
hits = db.search(vector=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3], filter="id > 1") # with a prefilter
for hit in hits:
print(hit.id, hit.score, hit.text)
Each row carries a vector (your embedding) and optional text. Search by vector, by text, or both at once (reciprocal-rank fused). Storage is a local directory or any S3-compatible object store (AWS, Tigris, R2, MinIO, …) or GCS.
Apache-2.0. Part of Firn.
