Cool animations. Does anyone know how they made those animations? Or did they do it with vanilla JS/CSS/HTML?

My experience trying LanceDB has been abysmal. It worked great on dev and small testing environments but as soon we tried production workloads it would get extremely slow. We shifted to PostgreSQL + pgvector and had absolutely no issues, even if it is not "engineered for multimodal data". Maybe we were doing something wrong but we did put effort in trying to make it work - it is this hard to get it performant?

Curious what performance issues you faced. Was that in OSS LanceDB? And what were the challenges?
