In the April Monthly Product Update, Pinecone has expanded its serverless service by tripling the capacity available in the free plan, offering 2GB of storage and enhanced read/write operations, and enabling the transition of existing 'gcp-starter' indexes to serverless. Developers can now build AI applications using the Pinecone serverless framework with Java, Python, or Node.js, and operate in the new eu-west-1 AWS region. The Global Control Plane API, supporting Python, Node, and Java clients, is now available, simplifying resource management with a global URL for control plane operations and compatibility with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Pulumi. New sample apps and an AI chatbot have been introduced to facilitate user interaction and resource discovery on the Pinecone platform, while the Pinecone Partner Program offers a streamlined signup and usage monitoring process for joint users.
