* Simple to get a local dev env working with docker * Their new v4 python sdk makes things way easier to work with * Built-in hybrid search with the options to tailor it to exactly what you need is a huge plus * Reliable, been using it in production for 6 months without a hiccup

It was very easy to get started with weaviate, the pricing is simple and they take care of importing models from huggingface for us and provisioning the db instances so we can concentrate on building our product. We were able to quickly integrate weaviate with our existing stack using the python libraries. The documentation is good and we have been impressed by the support we received for our more unusual use cases. There is an active slack community and we've met several people from the team and they've all been very helpful. What's more it's all open source so we feel safe choosing Weaviate for a cricical part of our tech stack.

Great forums and ease of use in terms of third party tokenizers and documentation
