Architectural decisions for retrieval-augmented generation systems carry measurable operational consequences. AWS explains that selecting an option for an "Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases RAG application affects performance and cost" across deployments. Consequently, finding the right configuration remains an important step when setting up vector storage for these workloads.

To assist with this decision, AWS outlined an evaluation analyzing several specific storage technologies. The publication "compares Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with pgvector, and Amazon S3 Vectors across three RAG use cases" directly. In addition to evaluating these systems, the guide delivers empirical "benchmarks and a practical selection framework" to guide technical decisions.

What this means for you

For organizations deploying retrieval-augmented generation on AWS, vector store selection directly dictates operational expenses and system responsiveness. Technical teams must evaluate services such as OpenSearch, Aurora PostgreSQL, or S3 Vectors against their specific workload patterns. Relying on benchmarks and structured selection frameworks helps prevent costly infrastructure mismatches.
