Milvus
Distributed vector database built for billion-scale — the choice once one node stops being enough.
Milvus separates storage and compute and scales horizontally, which is what you need past a few hundred million vectors. The operational cost is real: plan for Kubernetes, not a docker-compose file.
Best for: Billion-scale, horizontally scaled vector search
Deploy: Self-hostable
