turbopuffer x TLDR
vector and full-text search built on object storage
fast, 10x cheaper, and extremely scalable
turbopuffer is the search engine to connect large amounts of unstructured data to AI. Built from first principles on object storage with an intelligent cache layer, turbopuffer is just as fast as in-memory search engines but orders of magnitude cheaper to run.
We index 1T+ documents for leading AI companies:
