VexDB-Lite is a vector similarity search library providing Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) capabilities as extensions for PostgreSQL, DuckDB, and SQLite databases. The system implements Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW) graphs for efficient similarity search, with optional Product Quantization and RaBitQ compression for memory efficiency. It features hardware-accelerated distance computation using SIMD instructions (SSE, AVX, AVX512, NEON) and provides multiple distance metrics (L2, inner product, cosine). The architecture separates core algorithms from database-specific adapters, enabling consistent functionality across different storage engines. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices with reusable components like the SIMD dispatch system, vector buffer manager, and product quantization implementation.
