fastapi-vss A RESTful API for vector similarity search. It uses the Python web framework FastAPI.

This accelerates machine learning workflows using vector similarity search with classification models. This does not require a custom trained model, but it is more effective with a fine-tuned model.


Features

  • 🔍 Vector similarity search using fast Redis; you can search for similar images based on vector embeddings with a simple API call. Redis is an in-memory data structure store that supports fast vector search.
  • 📊 Supports foundational models like CLIP, and fine-tuned models for specific tasks.
  • Support batch processing for efficient querying of multiple images. Default batch size is 32; you can adjust it with the BATCH_SIZE environment variable.
  • Supports top-n search, where you can specify how many similar predictions to return, e.g. top_n=5 to return the top 5 similar predictions, where a prediction includes a score and the database id of the closest match.
  • 📦 Docker container for easy deployment
  • 📜 OpenAPI documentation for easy integration
