Zilliz Cloud
Managed Milvus cloud service for building vector search, retrieval, and AI applications.

In inglese
Zilliz Cloud provides a managed Milvus service for storing vectors and running similarity, semantic, lexical, hybrid, and full-text searches. It includes clusters, embeddings, reranking, migrations, backups, monitoring, access controls, and private networking.
Developers and data teams use it for retrieval-augmented generation, recommendation, semantic search, and AI data infrastructure. A Free option is available; Serverless uses pay-per-operation billing, while Dedicated uses reserved compute. Storage, data transfer, backups, and audit logs may cost extra.
Features
- Managed Milvus clusters for vector search applications
- Similarity, semantic, lexical, hybrid, and full-text search
- Integrated embedding and reranking functions
- Import and migration from Pinecone, MongoDB, Qdrant, and PostgreSQL
- Backups, scheduled backups, cross-region copies, and restore
- Fine-grained access control, SSO, and audit logs
- RESTful APIs and SDK support for Python, Java, Go, Node.js, and cURL
- Deployment options include Free, Serverless, Dedicated, and BYOC
Use cases
- Build retrieval-augmented generation applications
- Search documents by semantic and keyword similarity
- Recommend products, content, or records using vector similarity
- Migrate vector data from another database
- Run batch searches against data in external object storage
- Operate production vector search with dedicated infrastructure

Latest updates
- 🔐 Enhanced access control — Separate organization and project roles, create custom project roles, assign roles to IdP-synced groups, provision users and groups with SCIM , and manage roles through AP
Separate organization and project roles; create custom roles; capture slow requests for analysis; configure replicas and autoscaling at cluster creation.
