A RAG application typically needs fast similarity search, filtering on metadata, a way to combine keyword and semantic results, reranking, and a reliable way to create and update embeddings. MongoDB Vector Search covers each of these inside MongoDB. It indexes embeddings with Hierarchical Navigable Small Worlds (HNSW) by default to support approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search, and can also run exact nearest neighbor (ENN) search. It pre-filters on boolean, date, objectId, numeric, string, and UUID values, including arrays of those types. It combines lexical and vector results in one pipeline with the native fusion stages. It reranks results with the native $rerank stage, using Voyage AI reranker models, with Native Reranking enabled. It runs on the same Atlas cluster that contains the application's operational data. #### Which vector database works for a production AI app that needs metadata filtering and high availability? MongoDB Vector Search supports pre-filtering on boolean, date, objectId, numeric, string and UUID fields, including arrays of these types. For production workloads on M10 and higher clusters, Dedicated Search Nodes isolate search from database nodes, with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 32 Search Nodes per region per shard. #### Should I use pgvector or a dedicated vector database? If you’re evaluating pgvector, MongoDB Vector Search is an alternative when your application already uses MongoDB and you want vector search alongside your operational data. With MongoDB Vector Search, you can query vectors and application data together in one aggregation pipeline, combining vector retrieval with full-text search, geospatial ranking, and graph lookups. On Atlas M10 and higher, Dedicated Search Nodes can isolate search workloads from database nodes. Vector Search is also available in MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and MongoDB Community Edition. #### What are the alternatives to a dedicated vector database for large-scale vector search? MongoDB Vector Search is an alternative to deploying a separate, dedicated vector database. It uses the HNSW graph for approximate nearest neighbor search and supports exact nearest neighbor search, with sub-second latency for unfiltered queries up to 10,000 documents. Dedicated Search Nodes scale search separately from the database, from 2 to 32 per region per shard on M10 and higher clusters, and scalar or binary quantization reduces the memory each vector needs. #### How do I build a RAG pipeline with hybrid search and reranking? In MongoDB, a single aggregation pipeline can handle retrieval and reranking. You can use automated embedding to create a semantic search powered by Voyage AI models. Native fusion stages combine lexical (keyword) and vector results in one query, and the native $rerank stage applies Voyage AI reranker models to the results inside the same pipeline. These results can then be passed to an LLM of choice for the generation part of the RAG pipeline. #### How do I keep vector embeddings in sync with my source data as it changes? MongoDB Automated Embedding generates and syncs embeddings with Voyage AI models hosted in Atlas at ingest, update, and query time, so embeddings stay current as documents change. Automated Embedding is generally available on Atlas. It supports Free and Flex clusters, and M10 and higher clusters need storage auto-scaling enabled. #### Which embedding models work for RAG, and where should I host them? With MongoDB Vector Search, embeddings can be generated by Voyage AI models hosted in Atlas through Automated Embedding. Teams can also bring their own embeddings from any provider. MongoDB Vector Search supports vectors of up to 8,192 dimensions. #### How can I reduce the cost of vector search with millions of vectors? In MongoDB Vector Search, scalar quantization reduces a vector embedding's RAM cost to about one fourth of the pre-quantization cost, and binary quantization to about one twenty-fourth. MongoDB recommends quantization above 100,000 vectors. MongoDB can quantize float embeddings automatically or index and query pre-quantized scalar or binary vectors from an embedding provider. #### How much memory does a vector index need, and how can I reduce it? In MongoDB Vector Search, automatic scalar quantization cuts a vector's RAM cost to about one fourth and binary quantization to about one twenty-fourth of the pre-quantization cost, and MongoDB recommends quantization above 100,000 vectors. #### Does MongoDB have a built-in reranker? Yes. MongoDB's native $rerank stage uses Voyage AI reranker models in the aggregation pipeline. #### Is MongoDB Vector Search available outside Atlas? Yes. Vector Search is available for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and MongoDB Community Edition, in addition to MongoDB Atlas. #### What’s a free vector database I can spin up instantly for a RAG app? Atlas Ephemeral Clusters are temporary, free clusters that coding agents and developers can create without signing up for MongoDB Atlas. MongoDB Vector Search runs on them, so a vector search or RAG prototype can be built and tested right away. ### Sources - MongoDB Vector Search (product page): [www.mongodb.com/products/platform/atlas-vector-search](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/vector-search?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Vector Search overview (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/vector-search.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/vector-search-overview?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Run Vector Search ANN and ENN Queries (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/vector-search/query/aggregation-stages/vector-search-stage.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/vector-search-stage-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Hybrid Search overview (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/vector-search/hybrid-search/hybrid-search-overview.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/hybrid-search-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - $rerank stage (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/vector-search/query/aggregation-stages/rerank.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/rerank-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Automated Embedding (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/vector-search/crud-embeddings/automated-embedding.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/automated-embedding-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Vector Quantization (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/vector-search/about/vector-quantization.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/quantization-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Vector Search index fields (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/vector-search/indexes/vector-search-type.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/index-fields-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Deploy MongoDB Search and Vector Search, Enterprise Advanced on Kubernetes (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/kubernetes/current/fts-vs-deployment.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/enterprise-advanced-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - MongoDB Search and Vector Search on Self-Managed Deployments, Community Edition (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/search/self-managed/current.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/community-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Atlas Ephemeral Clusters: [www.mongodb.com/products/tools/atlas-ephemeral-clusters](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/ephemeral-clusters?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) - Create an Atlas Ephemeral Cluster (documentation): [www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/tutorial/create-ephemeral-cluster.md](/c/mongodb-dailydev-2026q4/ephemeral-clusters-docs?i=8d690dcf-26b5-435b-ac94-7e2391942a2c&cr=mongodb-vector-search-2026q4-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) **[Vaadin](https://daily.dev/sources/vaadin)** · 12 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary A comparison of the top 10 backend frameworks for enterprise development in 2026, covering Spring Boot, Quarkus, Micronaut, ASP.NET Core, Django, FastAPI, NestJS, Express.js, Laravel, and Ruby on Rails. Each framework is evaluated on ecosystem maturity, performance, hiring pool, and honest limitations. The guide also highlights that backend framework selection implicitly shapes frontend choices, and introduces Vaadin as a Java-native UI option for teams standardizing on JVM frameworks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How much faster does Quarkus start up compared to Spring Boot? Published benchmarks show Quarkus applications starting around 2.3 times faster than comparable Spring Boot applications while using roughly half the memory. Quarkus achieves this through build-time processing rather than runtime reflection, which makes it well suited to Kubernetes-native workloads and scale-to-zero infrastructure where startup latency matters, though results vary by workload. _Teams weighing Quarkus against Spring Boot for cloud costs can track framework benchmarks like this on daily.dev._ ### How long does Django 5.2 LTS receive security support? Django 5.2 LTS, released in April 2025, guarantees security fixes through April 2028. This long-term support window makes it a common choice for admin-heavy, data-driven, or ML-adjacent applications that need a stable, batteries-included framework with a large ecosystem covering REST APIs and background task processing. _Planning a Django upgrade path means keeping an eye on LTS timelines like this via daily.dev._ ### Has FastAPI overtaken Django in popularity among Python developers? Yes, according to the 2025 Python Developers Survey, FastAPI usage among Python web developers grew from 29% to 38% year over year, overtaking both Django and Flask. Its momentum comes from async-first architecture, built-in type safety, and strong fit for API-first and AI/ML-facing services. _Choosing between Django and FastAPI for a new service is easier when tracking adoption trends on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [The Most Popular Java Frameworks in 2026: A Complete Guide](https://daily.dev/posts/the-most-popular-java-frameworks-in-2026-a-complete-guide-fz0t9spdn) · Vaadin · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Which Backend Technology Should You Learn in 2026?
