ManyVector on Google Cloud Storage.
Point ManyVector at your GCS bucket. Standard, Nearline, Coldline, or Archive storage class. Multi-region and dual-region configurations supported. Your vectors stay in your GCP project — ManyVector never holds your data.
Storage classes
Standard, Nearline, Coldline
Active namespaces use Standard. Archived namespaces that are queried infrequently can use Nearline or Coldline for further cost reduction.
Regions
Multi-region and dual-region
Use GCS multi-region (US, EU, ASIA) for maximum availability or dual-region for data residency control with redundancy across two specific regions.
Auth
Workload Identity and service accounts
Authenticate with a GCP service account JSON key or Workload Identity Federation for keyless auth. Grant Storage Object Admin on your bucket only.
Encryption
CMEK with Cloud KMS
Encrypt your vector objects with customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) via Cloud KMS. Full key rotation and audit trail in GCP's key management console.
Audit
Cloud Audit Logs integration
GCS data access audit logs capture every read and write to your bucket. Route them to Cloud Logging, BigQuery, or SIEM for compliance and forensics.
Cost
$0.020/GB/month (Standard, US)
Pay GCP directly for storage. No egress fees within the same region as your ManyVector deployment. ManyVector charges per query, not per GB stored.

Common questions
Which GCS storage classes work with ManyVector?
Standard (recommended for active namespaces), Nearline, and Coldline. Nearline and Coldline suit archival namespaces accessed infrequently — access costs apply.
How does ManyVector authenticate with GCS?
Via a service account key JSON or Workload Identity Federation. Workload Identity is recommended for GKE-deployed query nodes — no key files to rotate.
Should my GCS bucket and query nodes be in the same region?
For lowest latency, yes. Cross-region access still works but adds 10-50ms depending on distance. Co-locate query nodes with your bucket region for production.
Does ManyVector support customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK)?
Yes. Configure a Cloud KMS key on your GCS bucket; ManyVector inherits the encryption settings automatically.
