​
API Key Limitations

Free API Key Users: If you’re using a free API key, CyborgDB Service will automatically use cyborgdb-lite under the hood, which includes:
  • Up to 1M vectors maximum
  • 4 CPU threads limit
  • PostgreSQL and Memory backing stores only
  • No GPU acceleration
Upgrade to a paid plan to unlock cyborgdb-core with unlimited vectors, all backing stores, GPU acceleration, and full performance capabilities.

​
Architecture Overview

CyborgDB Service runs as a containerized microservice in your infrastructure: Key Benefits:
  • Language-agnostic API access
  • Horizontal scaling capabilities
  • Operational monitoring and logging
  • Production-ready deployment patterns

​
When to Use Service vs Embedded

  • Choose CyborgDB Service
  • Consider CyborgDB Embedded
  • Multi-language teams - Need to support different programming languages
  • Microservice architecture - Want to separate vector operations from application logic
  • Operational simplicity - Prefer service-based deployment patterns
  • Horizontal scaling - Need to scale vector operations independently
  • Team collaboration - Multiple teams need access to the same vector data
  • REST API preference - Want standard HTTP endpoints for integration

​
Production Considerations

​
Scaling and Performance

  • Horizontal Scaling: Deploy multiple service instances behind a load balancer
  • Connection Pooling: Configure database connections for high concurrency
  • Caching: Use Redis backing store for low-latency workloads
  • Monitoring: Enable telemetry and monitoring for production visibility

​
Security

  • API Key Management: Rotate keys regularly and use environment variables
  • Network Security: Deploy within private networks or use TLS/SSL
  • Database Security: Secure backing store connections and credentials
  • Access Control: Implement proper authentication and authorization
