BlocksDB
A modular serverless vector database with block-based indexing
BlocksDB is a modular serverless vector database built on Lithops and AWS Lambda. It combines block-based FAISS indexing, distributed querying, incremental updates, and automatic indexing behind command-line and Python client interfaces.
Its block-based data partitioning is designed for the elasticity, workload fluctuations, and sparse usage patterns found in serverless environments. The system uses cloud services such as object storage and functions to scale vector-database operations without maintaining a continuously running cluster.
