Re:The $1M Annual Cost of RAM-Bound Vector Databases in the ... by JosephjackJR on Monday December 15, 2025 @08:31AM (#46274280)
We analyzed the fundamental architectural flaw in today's cloud vector database paradigm: the hard dependency on RAM. This design forces platforms with massive data volumes (e.g., millions of video frames, billions of RAG documents) into a financially unsustainable cost curve. We propose that the shift to an O(k) architecture, leveraging mmap storage, is the only way to break this scaling ceiling.
