Introducing Chroma Sync

Chroma Sync, Chroma Cloud's serverless ingestion service, now supports Amazon S3, GitHub repositories, and web crawling as data sources. The service handles parsing, chunking, and embedding automatically with queue-based retries and rate-limit awareness. Amazon S3 supports PDFs, images, and code with optional auto-sync; GitHub uses collection forking for efficient incremental updates; web uses a JavaScript-capable crawler with configurable depth. Pricing starts at $0.04/GiB processed.

Chroma Cloud can now automatically crawl and index websites. Users supply a starting URL and Chroma handles scraping, converting pages to markdown, chunking via Tree-sitter, and generating embeddings — no custom ingestion pipeline required. The resulting collections support hybrid search blending dense embeddings for semantic matching with BM25 sparse vectors for keyword precision. Designed for product docs, blogs, and support pages.

Factory AI uses Chroma Cloud to power semantic and full-text code search for its AI software development agents (Droids). Chroma enables semantic similarity search, regex/full-text search, and collection forking to incrementally index git diffs without full re-ingestion. Serverless scalability handles unpredictable parallel workloads across many concurrent Droid instances. Factory's Droids hold the #1 score on Terminal-Bench, resolving 58.8% of tasks.

Chroma Cloud is a hosted, production-grade deployment of Chroma built from everything we learned shipping the single-node engine, re-architected into a distributed system for scale. The API remains unchanged, allowing migration from single-node to cloud without rewriting applications.
