Databricks launches Lakebase Search
This significantly lowers the operational barrier for developers building AI agents that require fast, accurate search at scale. For ASEAN developers, Lakebase Search offers a cost-effective alternative to existing vector databases, potentially reducing infrastructure costs by up to 75% while maintaining performance.
Databricks has launched Lakebase Search, a general availability product that brings scalable vector and BM25 full-text search directly into Postgres.
It achieves a new frontier for price-performance, latency, and recall on VectorDBBench.The solution is 4x cheaper than running pgvector for the same workload and features true pay-per-use pricing with zero compute cost when idle.
AI agents need fast, accurate search at massive scale. Lakebase Search is now GA, bringing scalable vector and BM25 full-text search directly into Postgres.
