// readme · what it is
Chroma is the embedded-first vector DB: import the Python package, point it at a folder, done. There's also a server mode for sharing across processes. Pick this when the project lives on one machine and you want zero ops, not when you need to scale.
// deploy notes
Single container. Backed by SQLite + DuckDB; not designed for millions of vectors.
