Vectorize is Cloudflare's vector database for building AI-powered apps on its Workers platform. It stores and queries embeddings for semantic search, recommendation, classification, and RAG, and cross-references results against data in R2, D1, and KV. Embeddings can come from Workers AI or external providers like OpenAI, and indexes are configured via the dashboard, Wrangler CLI, or REST API.

Capabilities 3

What it actually does — grouped by capability family.

  • Vector search (primary capability)
  • Embeddings (secondary capability)
  • RAG pipeline (secondary capability)

Pros & cons

  • Native to Cloudflare Workers and edge
  • Free tier on Workers Free/Paid plans
  • Embeddings from Workers AI or external
  • No infrastructure to manage
  • Low-latency queries from the edge
  • Tied to the Cloudflare ecosystem
  • Fewer index/algorithm knobs than dedicated DBs
  • 5M vectors-per-index ceiling
  • Younger than standalone vector databases

    Object-storage-backed vector DB. Serverless economics at scale.

    Bills like S3 — cold rest, warm reads, no per-namespace minimums. Designed for very-large, mostly-cold vector workloads where you can't justify keeping every index in RAM. Operated by Notion in production.

    S3-like billing: cold rest, warm reads
    Cold reads have higher latency

    Amazon Web Services

    Native vector storage and querying in S3 — serverless, billion-vector scale.

    Purpose-built vector storage inside Amazon S3: store and query up to two billion vectors per index across thousands of indexes per vector bucket, with S3's durability and elasticity and no clusters to manage. Frequent queries return in around 100ms and infrequent ones in under a second, and it plugs directly into Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases for RAG.
