How to Choose A Vector Database: Weaviate Cloud vs. Zilliz Cloud

This blog compares two vector databases, Weaviate and Zilliz/Milvus. While both are designed to manage vector data, they serve different needs. Weaviate is a strong choice for developers seeking quick and straightforward implementation, while Zilliz/Milvus excels in handling large-scale, high-performance, low-latency applications. The benchmark results show that Zilliz Cloud outperforms Weaviate Cloud in terms of queries per second (QPS), queries per dollar (QP$), and latency. Furthermore, a feature comparison reveals differences in scalability, functionality, and purpose-built features between the two vector databases.
