turbopuffer AI features, pricing and GDPR (October 2026)

turbopuffer is a serverless search engine that keeps all data in object storage and caches it on NVMe SSD and memory for queries. It serves vector, full-text and hybrid search for AI applications with many namespaces and large document counts.

turbopuffer stores state only in object storage such as S3, which the vendor says keeps costs low, at the price of higher write latency and occasional slower queries on uncached data. It supports filters, full-text ranking, regex search, dense and sparse vectors and branching of namespaces. Regions run on AWS and Google Cloud in North America, South America, Europe including Frankfurt, Dublin and London, Asia Pacific including Mumbai, and Australia. Customers named on the homepage include Anthropic, Notion, Atlassian and Linear.

• Serves retrieval for AI products at scaleturbopuffer stores embeddings for many tenants and returns nearest neighbors combined with filters. Software vendors can offer search or RAG over each customer's data in separate namespaces.
• Combines vectors and keywordsBM25 full-text and vector search can be merged into hybrid queries. Results cover exact identifiers and semantic matches, which helps code and document search.
• Branches indexes for testingBecause object storage is the source of truth, namespaces can be branched as copy-on-write clones. Teams test new embeddings or chunking without copying the full dataset.

• Object storage as the only persistent state, with SSD and memory caching.
• EU regions in Frankfurt, Dublin and London on AWS, plus Google Cloud regions.
• Single-tenancy and BYOC on the enterprise tier.

turbopuffer runs public clusters in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and South America and does not state a country focus.

Check whether higher write latency and occasional cold queries fit your application, as the vendor documents these tradeoffs. Choose the region explicitly for EU data. Single sign-on and audit logs start at the scale tier, and private networking and CMEK at enterprise. A SOC 2 report and a DPA are listed on all tiers.
