What is Weaviate?

Weaviate is a high-performance open-source vector database designed for AI-powered applications, semantic search, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), recommendation systems, and machine learning workloads. It enables developers to efficiently store, index, and query vector embeddings with built-in scalability and filtering capabilities. Weaviate is optimized for modern AI search infrastructure that requires fast similarity search, metadata filtering, hybrid search, and scalable vector operations. With Antryk Weaviate, you can deploy production-ready vector databases in minutes while Antryk manages infrastructure, networking, backups, scaling, and operational reliability.

  scheme: "https",
  host: process.env.WEAVIATE_HOST,
  apiKey: new weaviate.ApiKey(process.env.WEAVIATE_API_KEY),
});

async function connectWeaviate() {
  const meta = await client.misc.metaGetter().do();
  console.log("Connected to Weaviate");
}

connectWeaviate();

Python Example

import weaviate
import os

client = weaviate.Client(
    url=os.environ["WEAVIATE_URL"],
