Hello I have a question regarding

Hello, I have a question regarding chromaDB, let's say that I have an index stored on ChromaDB, when send a query to that index, will the calculations be handled on chromaDB server or on my local machine RAM?

They will be handled on whatever machine is hosting the chromadb server.

The only thing handled locally is embedding your query (which is just an API call to openai, by default)

@Logan M thanks for your answer, I got confused a little, should I take care of hosting the chromaDB server? I mean should I host the chromaDB server on EC2 instance for example on my own or it is already hosted by chromaDB service providers?

I think chroma is all self hosted, so you'd have to host it. But tbh I haven't looked in a while if they have a hosted offering
