# Milvus

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/611436/Milvus

> Milvus is an open-source vector database built for AI-powered applications, serving developers and engineering teams across technology, e-commerce, finance, media, and enterprise software industries — from startups prototyping locally to large enterprises managing billions of vectors in production.

The software offers three self-managed deployment modes: a lightweight Python library for local or edge use, a single Docker image for single-machine servers, and a Kubernetes-based distributed setup for cloud-native, billion-scale workloads. A fully managed cloud option is also available through Zilliz Cloud.

Core features include similarity search, full-text search, hybrid search across multiple vector fields, metadata filtering, and support for over 10 index types. Multi-tenancy allows hundreds to millions of tenants on one cluster. Tiered hot/cold storage helps manage costs. Security features cover role-based access control, TLS encryption, and user authentication. Data backup, disaster recovery, and monitoring via Prometheus and Grafana are also included.

Milvus works with text, image, audio, and video data, making it suitable for recommendation systems, semantic search, fraud detection, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. SDKs are available for Python, Java, Go, C\#, and Node.js. Support is provided through an active open-source contributor community and documentation resources.
