Very excited about being able to build scalable vector databases on DiskANN like turbopuffer or lancedb. These changes in latency are game changing. The best server is no server. The capability a low latency vector database application that runs in lambda and S3 and is dirt cheap is pretty amazing.

The clear use case is serverless—without the complications of DynamoDB (expensive, 0.03/GB read), DynamoDB+DAX (VPC complications), or Redis (again, VPC requirements).

This instantly makes a number of applications able to run directly on S3, sans any caching system.
