Overview

Build and operate Milvus at billion scale with predictable latency, clear sizing, and production grade workflows. Many teams ship a demo, then stall when data outgrows RAM, filters get complex, or tail latency spikes. This book turns those pains into concrete decisions you can apply today, from schema and index choices to Kubernetes operations and disaster recovery. You get a practical field guide to Milvus 2.6, covering dense and sparse retrieval, CPU and GPU indexes, and the storage and caching patterns that keep p95 and p99 steady under real traffic. Choose the right index by scenario, IVF FLAT and PQ, HNSW, DiskANN on NVMe, CAGRA and IVF on GPU Tune recall and latency, nlist and nprobe, ef and itopk, search width and iterations, beam width and search list Design scalable schemas, vector metrics and normalization, scalar fields with inverted indexes, arrays and JSON paths Run hybrid dense plus sparse retrieval, BM25 or SPLADE signals with fusion and rerank strategies Plan segments and compaction, seal proportion, interim indexes for growing data, brute force fallbacks avoided Engineer storage and caching, local SSD caches, mmap options, tiered storage warmups, read ahead and prefetch Size and budget, worksheets for RAM VRAM and IOPS, index selection matrix, capacity planning for QPS and top k Operate on Kubernetes, Helm or Operator installs, configuration overlays, upgrades and safe rollbacks from 2.5 to 2.6 Strengthen observability, actionable dashboards, p95 and p99 by component, SLO probes, slow query triage and tracing Apply security and governance, TLS, authentication, RBAC, audit trails, multi tenant resource isolation and fairness Protect data and uptime, backup and restore, cross bucket migration, disaster recovery drills with clear exit criteria Ship reliable search APIs, batch sizing, concurrency and cost limits, production runbooks with change guards This is a code heavy guide, with working Python and YAML that you can adapt for builds, sweeps, sizing, and runbooks.
