Weaviate is an open-source Vector Database developed since 2019 by the Netherlands-based SeMI Technologies, deployable as managed cloud, self-hosted, or embedded. It stands out for its modularity: built-in vectorizer modules let it generate Embeddings on ingest, or call providers like OpenAI, Cohere, or Hugging Face. Its schema-based data model, Hybrid Search support, and rich query DSL make it attractive for production RAG architectures. It competes with Pinecone and Qdrant, and is a natural choice for enterprise teams that prefer open source.
