AWS Adds Vector Functionality To S3 Object Storage
AWS, Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025
S3 Vectors allows customers to store AI vector data in S3 object storage, a move that potentially allows for much cheaper storage of vectorised data usually held in vector databases
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced vector storage for its S3 cloud object storage - S3 Vectors - in a move it claims will reduce the cost of uploading, storing and querying vectorised data in AI storage by up to 90%.
The aim is to allow customers to cost-effectively store large volumes of vectors in the AWS cloud and search through such indexes to find specific content types. It potentially presents an alternative to more costly vector databases.
