Comments

This feels similar to TurboBuffer, which is also built on top of S3 storage. TurboBuffer has been a leader in this space, powering vector search for major companies like Cursor, Linear, and Notion.

It seems AWS is leveraging its strong S3 brand to compete directly in the vector database market.

For more context, check out the TurboBuffer architecture docs and Notion’s presentation from the Data Council:
