kynetradb
One Rust binary: BM25 search + vector + KV + document + auth + files + realtime + agentic admin.
vs
DynamoDB
AWS managed KV + document store with single-digit-millisecond latency at any scale.

When to pick DynamoDB
Unlimited scale for simple KV access patterns with no ops burden. The data modeling discipline required (partition keys, GSIs) is the real cost.
- You need unlimited horizontal scale for a single access pattern.
- Your team is already invested in DynamoDB's SDK and ecosystem.
When to pick kynetradb
- You want Supabase's developer experience — the
@kynetra/clientTypeScript SDK, PostgREST REST API, GoTrue-shaped auth, RLS, realtime channels — running as a single binary on infra you own. - You need BM25 full-text + vector similarity search built in with no separate service and no CDC pipeline.
- You want to deploy to 18 targets (including 5 Indian providers) from one Dockerfile.
- You need outbound sync to 12 databases (Postgres, DynamoDB, BigQuery, Firestore, Cloudflare, MongoDB, Redis, Pinecone) with zero extra code.
- You want an agentic admin with 10 typed LLM-driven actions and a persisted audit trail.
- You want Apache-2.0 with a self-host path that doesn't require an ops team.
- You want a single binary with no runtime dependencies — no container fleet to operate.
Vector upsert + query — both APIs side by side
Upsert an embedding and query nearest neighbours. These are documentation-accurate shapes, not runnable end-to-end examples.
