What it does

Lakebase Search is now generally available. It brings scalable vector and keyword search to Lakebase projects through two Postgres extensions, so you can run semantic and exact term search in a single database without a separate search stack: lakebase vector adds the lakebase ann index type for approximate nearest neighbor vector search. It is drop in compatible with pgvector, using the same types, operators, and query syntax, and scales to over 1 billion vectors on a single index with builds up to 50 100x faster than HNSW.
