## Summary - **Define Storage Integration**: un-gates the Python (and Rust, for S3) `create_storage_integration` examples, drafted against #4618 and held back until it shipped -- it's now in v0.42.0-beta.0+, and the signature matches the drafts exactly. - **Naming rules**: drops the `Branch` row and its "Learn more" link, consistent with de-emphasizing branches elsewhere in this nav. - **Distributed RTE Write**: removes the REST path, the `__lance_mem_wal` index name, and "WAL node" terminology in favor of an abstract framing -- a query node routes writes to RTE nodes, each of which can host shards from many different tables. Both diagram variants are updated to match. - **Data Page Cache / Tiered Index Cache / Cache Prewarm**: drop Helm-specific and exact-percentage detail (disk-budget math, `startup_prewarm_block_query_ready`/`healthPort`/failure-policy table) in favor of a short feature → architecture → why-it-matters shape, each closing with a contact-sales pointer. Data Page Cache's on-demand prewarm section is removed outright. ## Note I wasn't able to get a clean visual render of the updated Distributed RTE Write diagram in local preview -- Mermaid isn't rendering in headless Chrome in this environment for *any* page right now, confirmed against an unmodified reference page showing the identical symptom. The diagram source follows the exact pattern already shipped and working in the 21 diagrams from the earlier brand-theming pass, and `mint validate`/`mint broken-links` both pass clean. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The ultimate multimodal data platform for AI/ML applications.
LanceDB is designed for fast, scalable, and production-ready vector search. It is built on top of the Lance columnar format. You can store, index, and search over petabytes of multimodal data and vectors with ease. LanceDB is a central location where developers can build, train and analyze their AI workloads.
Demo: Multimodal Search by Keyword, Vector or with SQL
Star LanceDB to get updates!
Key Features:
- Fast Vector Search: Search billions of vectors in milliseconds with state-of-the-art indexing.
- Comprehensive Search: Support for vector similarity search, full-text search and SQL.
- Multimodal Support: Store, query and filter vectors, metadata and multimodal data (text, images, videos, point clouds, and more).
- Advanced Features: Zero-copy, automatic versioning, manage versions of your data without needing extra infrastructure. GPU support in building vector index.
Products:
- LanceDB Embedded (open source): 100% open source, runs in your application's process; your data can live on local disk or in object storage. No vendor lock-in.
- LanceDB Enterprise: Production-scale distributed search, indexing, and maintenance. Plus, complete data sovereignty and security.
Ecosystem:
- Columnar Storage: Built on the Lance columnar format for efficient storage and analytics.
- Seamless Integration: Python, Node.js, Rust, and REST APIs for easy integration. Native Python and Javascript/Typescript support.
- Rich Ecosystem: Integrations with LangChain 🦜️🔗, LlamaIndex 🦙, Apache-Arrow, Pandas, Polars, DuckDB and more on the way.
