Databricks benchmarked Lakebase Search on 1M to 4M passages and reports that cache size relative to the vector index mattered more than row count.
When the cache roughly matched the index, 95–98% of page reads avoided storage, and warm vector search p50 latency stayed between 11 and 23 ms, according to the company's post on X.
