Milvus is an AI-infused database geared towards (embedding) vector similarity search. Milvus is dedicated to lowering the bar for unstructured data search and providing a consistent user experience regardless of users' deployment environment.
Milvus is an open-source vector database built to power AI applications and embedding similarity search. Milvus makes unstructured data search more accessible, and provides a consistent user experience regardless of the deployment environment.
Milvus was released under the open-source Apache License 2.0 in October 2019. It is currently an incubation-stage project under [LF AI & Data Foundation](https://lfaidata.foundation/).
- **Functionality-level Autoscaling**
- **Blazing Fast**
With the main functionalities implemented equivalent among nodes, Milvus is able to autoscale at the functionality level, providing the foundation for a more efficient resource scheduling.
Average latency measured in milliseconds on ten million vector datasets.
- **Hybrid Search**
Supports CPU SIMD, GPU, and FPGA accelerations, fully utilizing available hardware resources to achieve cost efficiency.
In addition to vectors, basic numeric types, such as boolean, integer, floating-point number, etc, are introduced in Milvus. Search for data from hybrid fields are now supported in the Milvus collection.
- **Easy to Use**
- **Combined Data Storage**
Rich APIs designed for data science workflows.
Milvus has reinforced its support for both streaming and batch data persistence and for the adaptation of alternative message/storage engines, in response to users' increasing demand for high database throughput.
Consistent cross-platform UX from laptop, to local cluster, to cloud.
- **Multiple Indexes in a Single Field**
Embed real-time search and analytics into virtually any application.
Milvus now supports multiple indexes in a single vector filed, and it decouples indexing from querying. Users are allowed to maintain multiple indexes simultaneously and switch flexibly among them according to their needs.
- **Stable and Resilient**
> **IMPORTANT** The master branch is for the development of Milvus v2.0. On March 9th, 2021, we released Milvus v1.0 which is our first stable version of Milvus with long-term support. To try out Milvus v1.0, switch to [branch 1.0](https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/tree/1.0).
Milvus built-in replication and failover/failback features ensure data and applications can maintain business continuity in the event of a disruption.
- **High Elasticity**
Component-level scalability makes it possible to only scale where necessary.
- **Community Backed**
With over 1,000 enterprise users, 5,000+ stars on GitHub, and an active open-source community, youre not alone when you use Milvus.
