Migrate from Chroma Cloudto Weaviate

Start with one collection. Map your documents and embeddings, compare search results, then move your application traffic.

Chroma Cloud fields mapped to Weaviate: ID faq-42 becomes a UUID plus sourceId, document text becomes the body property, topic billing becomes the topic property, and the embedding becomes the object vector. The same search for “update my invoice” with a billing filter runs against both.

Migration steps

  1. Start with one collection

    Map its IDs, documents, metadata, and embeddings to Weaviate.

  2. Compare search results

    Run the same filtered query in both systems and check the IDs and their order.

  3. Move your traffic

    Redirect writes, then switch reads once your collections validate.

Finish exports, validate your collections, and switch application reads before Chroma Cloud stops serving queries.
