Managed vector search has reduced infrastructure overhead and empowers faster AI workloadsZilliz Cloud has allowed us to focus on building the AI products without the overhead of operating vector database infrastructure. The best features Zilliz Cloud offers, in my opinion, include high-performance similarity search, managed infrastructure for cluster maintaining, infrastructure scaling, backup management, storage planning, Milvus compatibility, and metadata filtering. The offering of this managed infrastructure of a vector database is most useful for me, and the high-performance similarity search is useful in my case. Regarding the similarity search, it delivers low latency retrieval and maintains strong relevance in returned units, which is particularly useful for me. Zilliz Cloud has positively impacted my organization because initially, we spent too much time hosting self-hosted Milvus and planning for infrastructure that did not yield very useful results. Now, we do not have the overhead of managing infrastructure for my vector database, so we can directly focus on building our RAG system and AI workload. Time saved is the first and foremost outcome since all the time we invested in self-hosting Milvus has been redirected towards building the AI workloads. Time has definitely been saved, which is the primary benefit of using Zilliz Cloud.
