# Chroma

Chroma is distributed open-source search-database infrastructure for AI-native apps. Under the Apache 2.0 license, it lowers the engineering and ops bar for high-speed retrieval over massive multidimensional indexes. With simple scripted setup, teams stand up high-concurrency, multi-tenant retrieval spaces. Dense compute engines and flexible modern storage are vertically integrated. Unlike single-purpose or heavy traditional relational stores, Chroma emphasizes agile fit for large-model context engineering. The stack is deeply optimized on low-cost object storage with adaptive tiering and automated elastic scheduling—cutting query latency and ops cost in billion-scale multi-tenant index scenes. Fit for indie full-stack builders who lean on vector semantic match, cost-conscious AI startups, and commercial teams that must deliver stable RAG at scale.
