Pinecone Calls It Serverless — But It Bills You at Idle
Summary
Pinecone's "serverless" still bills you at idle — every read, every write, every stored gigabyte. Pods start at $70/month and scale linearly even when nobody's querying.
About this video
Pinecone's "serverless" still bills you at idle — every read, every write, every stored gigabyte. Pods start at $70/month and scale linearly even when nobody's querying. So we built MVS — Mixpeek Vector Store. IVF-Flat with SIMD directly on S3. 100% recall across every profile and corpus size — not 99, 100. 1ms on small catalogs. 3ms on 100K vectors. No indexing phase. No always-on pods. No warm-cache tax. KEDA scales the whole thing to zero — and your bill goes with it. We published the full benchmark so you can run it against your own Pinecone, Weaviate, or Qdrant indexes. → mixpeek.com/mvs #vectordatabase #serverless #pinecone #ai #infrastructure
