How we picked these 20

Selection criteria: products that a solo developer or small team would realistically consider instead of kynetradb for building a search-heavy, data-heavy web or mobile backend. That means popular open-source engines, the dominant managed SaaS options, and the most-cited vector stores. We excluded pure analytics warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery) and pure relational databases (Postgres, MySQL) because they don't overlap with kynetradb's core use case.
