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 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.
- Functionality-level Autoscaling
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.
- Hybrid Search
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.
- Combined Data Storage
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.
- Multiple Indexes in a Single Field
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.
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.

Demos
- Image Search: Images made searchable. Instantaneously return the most similar images from a massive database.
- Chatbots: Interactive digital customer service that saves users time and businesses money.
- Chemical Structure Search: Blazing fast similarity search, substructure search, or superstructure search for a specified molecule.
