Literally. We do a lot of vector DB and RAG stuff (who isn't these days, right?) and after a bunch of testing and benchmarking went with pgvector integrated into our existing PostgreSQL database. Operationally simple, performs perfectly adequately. I'm sure there are some niche use-cases where the dedicated vector DBs make sense, but for anyone just getting into it, don't underestimate PostgreSQL and pgvector.
