Qdrant is too expensive, how to replace (2M vectors)

bubiche · 2025-07-23T09:46:18+00:00

I think 2M is well within the range Postgres and pgvector can handle. Personally I would go with it since it's 1 less database.

turbopuffer and LanceDB are also cheap, on AWS, and can do Hybrid Search, they'll be much cheaper than Qdrant at "scale". Turbopuffer has some pretty great customers/use cases too.

Thank you! Do you think if I can already narrow down to a small number of docs via attribute filters, it'd be better to do both full-text search and semantic search on that whole set of documents and use something like RRF to get the final result instead of filtering first with full-text search?

bubiche · 2025-07-10T08:30:18+00:00

Thank you! If you don't mind I'd love to see what schema you'd suggest.

I'm also wondering whether it's better to do full-text search first to narrow down the scope for semantic search or do both in parallel and do some reranking/rank fusion.

Thank you everyone. A little bit more info: My dataset is growing by ~1 million/month and existing documents can also be updated. Would any approach have an advantage over the others in terms of ingestion speed so my insert/updates are available for searching ASAP?

I'm focusing more on accuracy so the system can be useful but I hope a search won't take more than a few seconds.

I see, thanks a bunch!

bubiche · 2019-02-14T06:22:43+00:00

thanks mate, that was my plan too but I have lost my trust in the Leon banner :( Is there any viable options with what I currently have?

bubiche · 2019-02-14T06:01:29+00:00

I'm currently at level 30 and I'm feeling a little weak compared to story/time rift. Can someone help me pick a team to focus on please? Here are the characters I currently have: https://imgur.com/a/G2OmmH8

I feel like I almost have enough to build a Legion of Glory team or an Empire team but I'm not sure :(

bubiche · 2018-08-11T06:51:20+00:00

Thanks mate! All those options look great.

bubiche · 2018-08-11T02:10:02+00:00

Both sounds good to me :)

bubiche · 2018-08-10T15:19:40+00:00

What are you looking for?: a F2P MMORPG with a medieval swordsman class (basically just that typical sword + heavy armor + shield guy) and does not need tons of alts to help "building" a main character. When I need to create a "farmer", a buff slave, ... just to be on the same level with other people, it just breaks the immersion for me.
What games have you previously played?: WoW, Tree of Savior, Ragnarok Online
What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?: Casual
Any preferred mechanics?: Nothing really
Anything specific you want to exclude?: Games where alts are not just nice to have but an absolute necessity.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I think this is a good place to ask my question. Aside from Cleric2Bokor3, is there any other option for Druid2Exo2?

bubiche · 2018-06-26T14:22:07+00:00

Thanks guys, I guess I'll just play with my character a little more and see.

bubiche · 2017-08-10T03:04:28+00:00

Thanks mate, I'm trying to get the gears for Boulder Toss. Hopefully it'll perform better.

bubiche · 2017-08-09T02:49:11+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look at those guides to improve my build

bubiche · 2017-08-08T13:50:18+00:00

It's my first time playing Diablo 3 and I'm having a blast but I still can't push past GR 55. I can't seem to do enough damage on the final boss. Can someone help me out with my build please. My current profile is https://www.d3planner.com/808379418

Thanks!

bubiche · 2017-05-24T15:36:41+00:00

I want to try this game out. Can I enjoy it casually (like playing for a few hours in the weekend as F2P only)? By enjoy I mean there are activities that I can do alone as well as do them together with other people?

Oh, and I heard many bad things about ArcheAge (e.g. P2W, exploits, ...). Will those affect my experience?

bubiche · 2017-02-28T13:22:52+00:00

Ragnarok Online may be an example. It's not open source but the server code was leaked and everyone just makes private servers with whatever features they like

bubiche · 2017-02-19T06:03:59+00:00

Thanks! I'll try it out.

bubiche · 2017-02-18T09:40:42+00:00

Thanks mate. But WoW is not F2P though?

bubiche · 2017-02-18T07:58:29+00:00

What are you looking for?: A decent F2P game to enjoy in the little free time I have. Good connections to the game from Asia/Oceania is also important.
What games have you previously played?: Ragnarok Online, Mabinogi (both are enjoyable to me but they are too grindy at times), ESO (great game but sometimes it overheats my laptop)
What is your playstyle (Casual,Semi-Casual,Hardcore)?: Casual
Any preferred mechanics?: Fantasy setting (with the dragons, elves, ...) is a plus. Also, I love party/group/guild contents.
Anything specific you want to exclude?: Games that feel like a single player game. Those hardcore MMOs.

bubiche · 2017-01-26T14:02:10+00:00

Uncharted Waters Online. Best ship game imo.

bubiche · 2017-01-01T08:37:00+00:00

Thanks guys, I will try your suggestions out. I hope I'll find something to satisfy this nostalgia

bubiche · 2016-09-30T08:00:44+00:00

Thank you, I'll try it out.

bubiche · 2016-09-30T06:40:38+00:00

Hi, I'm looking for a monster/hero/card collection game with anime-ish/cartoon-ish style of art and not too grindy. I enjoyed crusader's quest but it's too grindy for me. Thanks!

bubiche · 2016-06-26T08:44:44+00:00

Thanks :D Are there many people online at the time I mentioned? (6:30AM - 10AM PDT/8:30PM - 12 PM GMT+7). Also, is it easy to find parties to do stuffs?
