Milvus

What It Does

Milvus is an open-source vector database built to power large-scale AI similarity search applications. As AI models convert unstructured data (images, video, text) into numerical vectors, Milvus provides the infrastructure to store and search billions of these vectors in milliseconds. It is cloud-native and highly scalable, designed to separate storage and computing. Its unique feature is its support for hybrid search, combining vector similarity with scalar filtering (e.g., "Find images that look like this AND were uploaded yesterday"). For AI engineers building recommendation engines or image search tools, Milvus provides the high-performance backend required to handle massive datasets that traditional relational databases simply cannot process.
