Welcome to Jina!#

Jina is a neural search framework that empowers anyone to build SOTA and scalable neural search applications in minutes.

⏱️ Save time - The design pattern of neural search systems. Quickly build solutions for indexing, querying, understanding multi-/cross-modal data such as video, image, text, audio, source code, PDF.

🌩️ Local & cloud friendly - Distributed architecture, scalable & cloud-native from day one. Same developer experience on local, Docker Compose, Kubernetes.

🚀 Serve, scale & share - Serve a local project with HTTP, WebSockets or gRPC endpoints in just minutes. Scale your neural search applications to meet your availability and throughput requirements. Share and reuse building blocks from Hub.

🍱 Own your stack - Keep end-to-end stack ownership of your solution. Avoid integration pitfalls you get with fragmented, multi-vendor, generic legacy tools. Enjoy the integration with the neural search ecosystem including DocArray, Hub and Finetuner.

Install#

Make sure that you have Python 3.7+ installed on Linux/MacOS/Windows.
