How do you install BrainDB?

Git clone https://github.com/beckfexx/BrainDB.git, copy .env.example to .env, bun install && bun run start. Or docker compose up -d.

Will BrainDB replace managed vector databases?

For small-to-medium use (<100k memories), yes on speed and cost. Beyond that, tune or hybridize.
