• DigitalOcean Vector Databases is now generally available in Data Services that groups managed engines for vector similarity search. The launch includes:

  • Weaviate in private preview for retrieval-augmented generation and semantic search workloads. Available to opted-in customers; preview clusters are not billed.
  • OpenSearch with the k-NN, ML Commons, and Neural Search plugins for hybrid (vector plus keyword) search and remote embedding models. Uses the existing Managed Databases OpenSearch engine.
  • PostgreSQL with the vector (pgvector) and vectorscale (pgvectorscale) extensions for vector similarity search alongside relational data.

  For an overview and guidance on choosing an engine, see Vector Databases.
