About the Company

turbopuffer

Serverless vector and text search database

Turbopuffer provides a serverless vector and full-text search database for AI apps. It uses a tiered storage system that places data in low-cost object storage as the primary store, with an NVMe cache and memory tier to keep hot data fast, and it automatically moves data between tiers based on usage patterns. This approach lowers costs versus in-memory vector databases, with clients reporting substantial savings and low latency for frequently accessed data. The company aims to make AI infrastructure affordable and scalable by offering cost-effective, serverless vector and search capabilities that optimize storage automatically.
