Combining knowledge graphs with vector databases has become a practical architecture for intelligent systems that require both structured reasoning and semantic understanding. One common example is enterprise search, where the graph models relationships between products, documents, and teams, while Milvus provides semantic matching for natural language queries. Together, they deliver accurate, explainable results. In recommendation systems, user profiles and item relationships live in the graph, and embeddings representing behavior or preferences are stored in Milvus. The system can suggest not only directly connected items but also those semantically similar to prior interactions. This balance of structure and context yields richer personalization. Other domains include research knowledge discovery, fraud detection, and supply chain analysis—any setting where reasoning about both explicit links and implicit patterns matters. With Zilliz managing scale and Milvus providing fast vector search, developers can build applications that turn massive, complex datasets into actionable knowledge networks.
