Featured Reviews

Arucy Lionel - PeerSpot reviewer
A simple solution that has very good documentation and low research consumption
LanceDB is deployed on-cloud in our organization. I have only utilized the community-specific version. They have a server-client version that might actually be useful for a lot of other people. I just needed the direct one, which works quite well for me. I don't know how good the server client version is yet. Overall, I rate LanceDB a nine out of ten.
