Amazon S3 Vectors is now GA!

AWS introduces a “Storage-First” architecture that decouples compute from storage, cutting TCO by up to 90% for large-scale RAG workloads.

With this GA release, S3 Vectors:
• Boosts per-index capacity 40× to 2 billion vectors
• Delivers sub-100ms query latencies

Swiggy launches Hermes V3 – a GenAI-powered text-to-SQL assistant.

Built to operate within #Slack, it uses vector retrieval, session memory, agentic orchestration & an explanation layer to generate accurate SQL queries.

Stop buying specialized Vector Databases.

In the rush to adopt LangChain and RAG, teams spun up these other Vector Databases.
Ssimplicity wins. PGVector is more than enough for 95% of use cases,

- Postgres handles vector embeddings perfectly.
- Gravity: Keep your embeddings where your relational data lives.
- Latency kills agent performance.
- Cost: One instance is cheaper than two managed services.

I fell down the vector database rabbit hole 😁

This year Storyblok announced Strata, our vector-powered platform to make content genuinely usable in the AI era (LLM search, RAG, ...). So my DevRel brain (the Senior part of it) said: ok, learn this properly, and share the journey with a 3-part series on our dev blog!

Part 1 is live: a gentle intro to the what/why behind vector DBs, with plenty of links for deeper dives. It's the "a‑ha!" moment I wish I had on day zero.

If you're new to this or want a clean mental model, give it a read, and please tell me what's missing so Part 2 (hands‑on, code + retrieval) can be even better!

PS: these are my findings as I go, no "professor" vibes here, I'm learning out loud so don't expect perfection (yet). If you spot gaps or have resources, drop them in! Let's learn this properly together 😉

Oh, you wanna play newspaper tycoon with your own lil' RAG? 🤓 How quaint! Here's a riveting tale of nerds turning Skald into a privacy utopia because nothing screams fun like vector databases and #LLMs. 🙄 Spoiler alert: proprietary APIs are faster, but who needs speed when you have open-source purity, right? 🚀
