Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL is now available as a quick create vector store in Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. With the new Aurora quick create option, developers and data scientists building generative AI applications can select Aurora PostgreSQL as their vector store with one click to deploy an Aurora Serverless cluster preconfigured with pgvector in minutes. Aurora Serverless is an on-demand, autoscaling configuration where capacity is adjusted automatically based on application demand, making it ideal as a developer vector store.
Knowledge Bases securely connects foundation models (FMs) running in Bedrock to your company data sources for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to deliver more relevant, context-specific, and accurate responses that make your FM more knowledgeable about your business. To implement RAG, organizations must convert data into embeddings (vectors) and store these embeddings in a vector store for similarity search in generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Aurora PostgreSQL, with the pgvector extension, has been supported as a vector store in Knowledge Bases for existing Aurora databases. With the new quick create integration with Knowledge Bases, Aurora is now easier to set up as a vector store for use with Bedrock.
The quick create option in Bedrock Knowledge Bases is available in these regions with the exception of AWS GovCloud (US-West) which is planned for Q4 2024. To learn more about RAG with Amazon Bedrock and Aurora, see Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases.
Amazon Aurora combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open-source databases. To get started using Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL as a vector store for Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, take a look at our documentation.
