They have recently added support for Redis, Milvus, and it looks like they are about to release support for Weaviate as well.

Thank you for help! I didn't understand that Redis or Milvus can replace Pinecone.

[joe-bera]

we can just replace Pinecode line in the .env file with Milvus?

[isaaclepes]

If you mean setting "MEMORY_BACKEND=milvus", then yes. there is a section in the .env.template for configuring the other memory backends, like Milvus.

Here I created a wrapper on Open Search which includes all the features in Pinecone and yes, you can run it locally. https://pypi.org/project/opencone/ https://github.com/mjdileep/Opencone
