Why We Deploy Milvus
Unmatched Scale
When you need trillion-scale vector search, Milvus delivers. Distributed architecture handles workloads other databases can't touch.
RaBitQ Compression
72% memory reduction with minimal accuracy loss. Run massive indices on reasonable hardware without sacrificing search quality.
True Hybrid Search
Combine dense vectors with sparse BM25 and metadata filtering in single queries. The complete search solution.
MCP Natural Language
Manage your database with conversational AI. Query, configure, and administer through natural language commands.
Production Proven
Used by thousands of organizations worldwide. Battle-tested at scale with comprehensive tooling and support.
Flexible Deployment
Self-host on Kubernetes, run via Docker, or use Zilliz Cloud. Deploy where and how your organization needs.
Common Use Cases
Organizations deploy Milvus when they need vector search at scale with enterprise-grade reliability.
