Zilliz

What it does

Zilliz provides a fully managed vector database management system, Zilliz Cloud, powered by the open-source Milvus. It is designed for enterprise-grade AI applications, supporting billion-scale vector search, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and large language models. Zilliz aims to simplify the deployment and scaling of vector search applications by eliminating the need for complex infrastructure management.

How to use: To use Zilliz Cloud, users can sign up for a free account, download one of the official SDKs (Python, Java, Go, Node.js), create their first collection, and perform vector similarity searches. For launching applications, users can upgrade to a pay-as-you-go plan. The platform offers intuitive RESTful APIs and user-friendly SDKs for control and data plane operations.
