Amazon DynamoDB Now Supports Real-Time Vector Search

AWS, Wednesday, August 5th, 2026

Amazon DynamoDB adds generally available real-time vector search.

AWS has announced general availability of vector search for Amazon DynamoDB, letting customers index and search vectors in real time. As vector datasets grow into the billions or trillions, traditional vector search forces a trade-off between speed, scale, and accuracy, with latency climbing as the index grows.

Building the capability into DynamoDB lets applications keep vectors alongside operational data rather than in a separate store.

That removes a synchronization burden for teams running retrieval-augmented generation on transactional data.
