Milvus

Milvus is a leading open-source vector database purpose-built for AI applications and similarity search at scale. As a cloud-native solution, it enables organizations to efficiently store, index, and manage massive volumes of embedding vectors generated by deep learning models and neural networks. The platform specializes in transforming unstructured data—such as images, text, audio, and video—into searchable vector representations that power modern AI applications. Designed to handle the demands of generative AI workloads, Milvus supports high-speed similarity searches across datasets containing tens of billions of vectors. The database provides developers and data scientists with the infrastructure needed to build sophisticated machine learning applications, including semantic search engines, recommendation systems, image similarity matching, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. With its distributed architecture and flexible deployment options, Milvus has become a foundational technology for organizations looking to operationalize their AI initiatives at enterprise scale.
