Why teams switch
Actually Serverless
Pinecone calls itself serverless, but charges $50/mo minimum. LambdaDB is Lambda + S3 — idle cost: $0.
Hybrid Search Included
Pinecone is vector-only. Need keyword matching? That's a second system. LambdaDB combines vector + full-text in one query.
No Bill Shock
Pinecone users report bills jumping from $50 to $2,847. LambdaDB has spending caps — set a limit, get alerts, auto-pause.
Any Region, On Demand
Pinecone trial is US-only. LambdaDB runs wherever Lambda + S3 exist — 30+ regions, request and go.
