AWS has integrated native vector search directly into DynamoDB, eliminating the need for separate vector databases or complex data synchronization pipelines. This architectural shift allows developers to perform semantic retrieval and approximate nearest-neighbor queries within their existing NoSQL tables using standard embedding models like those from Amazon Bedrock or OpenAI. The feature significantly reduces infrastructure overhead while enabling agentic memory, RAG applications, and recommendation engines to scale horizontally without storage limits on vector indexes.

AWS Introduces Native Vector Search for DynamoDB

InfoQAugust 16, 20264 min read

Amazon DynamoDB recently introduced native vector search, allowing developers to store embeddings alongside application data and run approximate nearest-neighbor queries directly from DynamoDB without using a separate vector database. The feature supports filtered similarity searches and configurable vector indexes for semantic search workloads. Vector search uses a new DynamoDB index type built on vector embeddings stored in table attributes. Developers can choose any embedding model, such as Amazon Bedrock Titan Text Embeddings, Cohere Embed, or OpenAI text embedding models, create…
