Im using LanceDB (and pretty happy with it so far). I am looking at the chroma docs and have a few questions

1. I see the core is OSS, any chance of it being pushed up on crates.io(i see you already have a placeholder)

2. Is it embeddable or only as a Axum server?

Do you see all providers converging on similar alpha i.e cheap object storage, nvme drives,ssd cache to solve this?

Cheers and congrats on the launch

Hey there

Chroma is fully OSS - embedded, single-node and distributed (data and control plane). afaik lance distributed is not OSS.

We do have plans to release the crate (enabling embedded chroma in rust) - but haven't gotten around to it yet. Hopefully soon!

It's not only a new pattern in search workloads, but it's happening in streaming, KV, OLTP, OLAP, etc. Yea - it's the future.
