Are there any plans of a serverless tier for Azure Cognitive Search vector storage? #90

Currently, Azure Cognitive Search is looking prohibitively expensive for storing vector data. The basic tier ($75/month) only gives us 1 GB of vector storage. Also, unless I am mistaken, moving from one tier to next is not possible without losing/migrating your stored data?

Other vector dbs like Pinecone, Weaviate etc have a "pay as you grow" pricing model where you are charged based on the amount of data stored. Are there any plans in Azure Cognitive Search to provide similar options?

We're indeed planning vector on serverless, where private preview is coming ~next month. Stay tuned. Pls ping me (khye.wei@microsoft) if you're interested in early testing.
