Milvus
Open-source distributed vector database designed for billion-scale collections.
Overview
Milvus is an open-source vector database built as a distributed system, separating storage and compute so a collection can grow beyond one machine. It solves the problem that a single-node vector index eventually stops fitting in memory or stops keeping up with query load. It exists for the upper end of the scale range, where the operational complexity of a distributed deployment is repaid by horizontal growth. It supports several index types so recall and latency can be traded against each other.
