## What it is
A Next.js book inventory application with search and filtering over a PostgreSQL database containing over 2 million Goodreads books. It uses Drizzle ORM, the pgvector extension for vector search, and the unaccent extension for accent-insensitive title matching.

## Use cases
- search millions of books by title
- filter books by publication year, rating, language, and page count
- semantic vector search over a book catalog with pgvector
- deploy a searchable book catalog on Vercel
- learn how to build search UIs with Next.js App Router
- use Postgres as a vector store for a demo app

## When to choose
- you want a ready-to-deploy Next.js app with large-scale book search
- you need a reference implementation of pgvector-based search with Drizzle ORM
- you want a Vercel-deployable demo with faceted filtering

## When to avoid
- you need a production book inventory system with inventory management features
- you use a database other than PostgreSQL
- you need a non-Next.js stack or a license-guaranteed codebase (no license is specified)
