  • Governance split between post (indexing) and sales (access)
  • Zero ops
  • Low query latency

  • Serverless pricing is now sensible
Cons

  • No documented API or integrations on the landing page
  • Narrow vertical—useless outside video production
  • Costs scale with vector count
  • Less flexible than self-hosted
