turbopuffer
Serverless vector and full-text search database built on object storage, with namespaces per tenant
Commercial
What it is
Our note
turbopuffer prices storage, writes and queries separately on top of object storage, which makes large agent corpora materially cheaper than memory-resident vector databases and easy to forecast. The vendor reports 1T+ documents in production and names early customers including Cursor and Notion, both adjacent to the agent-context problem.
