Database Debates Vector Databases

Vector databases go cloud-native fast: Milvus Cloud is now on AWS Marketplace, putting an open-source vector store directly in cloud catalogs [1]. Meanwhile, developers are testing precision-at-query-time tricks, with QBit from ClickHouse showing you can dial accuracy at runtime [2].

The listing on AWS Marketplace signals a turnkey path for teams to spin up Milvus Cloud and slot it into AWS-native workflows. This marks a push toward cloud storefronts for specialty databases.

On the other side, QBit from ClickHouse is described as a vector search engine that lets you choose precision at query time.

  • Deployment choices: Cloud marketplaces offer faster procurement and cloud integration for Milvus Cloud [1].
  • Runtime precision trade-offs: Precision-at-query-time approaches like QBit give flexibility to trade off speed and accuracy [2].

Together, these signals hint at a future where vector workloads blend cloud-market deployments with runtime tuning, shaping cost and performance.
