Similarity Search as a Service
Search through billions of items for similar matches to any object, in milliseconds.
It’s the next generation of search, an API call away.

Want a demo or have questions? Contact us.
Deploy
Launch a distributed similarity search service in a few lines of code.
Managed
Create a service and start making API calls — leave the infrastructure and ops to us.
Scalable
Each service is persistent, consistent, sharded, and replicated across many nodes.


Index
Dynamically load and index billions of vector embeddings.
Centralized
Load vector embeddings in streams or batches from models, data lakes, or feature stores.
Fresh
Update from anywhere. New and updated items become searchable in milliseconds.
Search
Run similarity search in Python or Java applications, or notebooks.
Fast
Latency of <50ms, even with billions of items and thousands of queries per second.
Accurate
Our fast search algorithms find more accurate results than open-source options.

Secure
Pinecone runs on hardened AWS infrastructure. Data is stored in isolated containers and encrypted in transit.
Ask us about VPC deployments on AWS or GCP.
Managed
Data persistence, eventual consistency, automatic node recovery, replication, sharding, and more. All done for you.
Cost-Effective
Only pay for what you use, as you go. The efficiency of our vector index leads to lower operating costs.
