dynavec

The serverless vector database that lives in your AWS account. Here's the 90-second tour.

The problem

Every vector DB forces a trade-off.

PineconeManaged — your data leaves your account.
OpenSearchCostly, always-on capacity even when idle.
Qdrant · Weaviate · MilvusYou run and scale the servers.

At a billion vectors, that's tens of thousands of dollars a month.

The goal

What if your vector DB was just… AWS?

  • Serverless — you pay only when you use it
  • In your account — your region, your compliance
  • Billions of vectors, no servers to run

How it works

Two AWS primitives, joined by a key.

Embedyour key S3 Vectorsbillion-scale ANN DynamoDBdocs in ~ms Results

S3 Vectors finds the nearest keys. DynamoDB hydrates the documents in single-digit milliseconds. dynavec joins them.

The proof · 1B vectors, 1536-d

Same scale. A fraction of the cost.

Storage priced like S3, not RAM. (Cost-model estimate, public list prices.)
