For production python applications with version controlled migrations, we recommend adding first class vector support to your toolchain by registering the vector type with your ORM. pgvector provides bindings for the most commonly used SQL drivers/libraries including Django, SQLAlchemy, SQLModel, psycopg, asyncpg and Peewee.
