Summary
This article from the Zilliz blog analyzes AWS S3 Vectors, a new feature that promises up to 90% cost savings for vector storage by using Amazon S3 as a storage tier. It examines whether this development threatens vector databases like Milvus (also developed by Zilliz) or could actually benefit them. The piece provides a deep dive into cost comparisons, technical limitations, and the future of tiered storage architectures for vector data, ultimately arguing that S3 Vectors complements rather than replaces dedicated vector databases.
