Self-proclaimed “The most highly evolved database on the planet,” Cockroachdb helps businesses “scale fast,” “survive anything,” and “thrive anywhere.” Cockroachdb makes it easy for businesses to scale their database quickly and automatically and can be used across multiple cloud platforms or hybridized across clouds and on-prem data centers. They service all sizes of brands, including major companies such as Bose, Comcast and Equifax, providing easy backup, multi-platform deployment, and secure and scalable data storage and retrieval.
Weaviate is an open-source, cloud-native, real-time vector search engine that allows developers to build intelligent applications with natural language processing (NLP) capabilities. It uses machine learning algorithms to understand the meaning of unstructured data and provides a semantic search engine that can retrieve relevant information from large datasets. Weaviate can be used to build chatbots, recommendation systems, and other intelligent applications that require NLP capabilities. It is designed to be scalable, flexible, and easy to use, with a RESTful API that allows developers to integrate it into their applications quickly. Weaviate is built on top of Kubernetes and can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud.
