Milvus Lite: The Lightweight Version of Milvus
Introducing Milvus Lite: Start Building a GenAI Application in Seconds We are excited to introduce Milvus Lite, a lightweight vector database that runs locally within your Python application. Based on the popular open-source Milvus vector database, Milvus Lite reuses the core components for vector indexing and query parsing while removing elements designed for high scalability in distributed systems.
This design makes a compact and efficient solution ideal for environments with limited computing resources, such as laptops, Jupyter Notebooks, and mobile or edge devices. Milvus Lite integrates with various AI development stacks like LangChain and LlamaIndex, enabling its use as a vector store in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines without the need for server setup. From prototyping to production environments and from edge computing to large-scale deployments, Milvus is now the only vector database that covers use cases of any size and all stages of development.
