Redis vs. Zilliz Cloud
Compare Redis vs. Zilliz Cloud by the following set of capabilities. We want you to choose the best database for you, even if it’s not us.
Redis vs. Zilliz Cloud on Scalability
No. Redis primarily operates by keeping data in memory. The classic architecture of Redis does not inherently follow the storage-compute separation architecture. Instead, it tightly couples data storage and computation in the same node or instance to ensure data access performance.
Yes.
No. It only scales at the server level. In addition, you need to reshard all the data when scaling out a Redis cluster.
Yes. At the component level (which provides more fine-grained scalability)
Yes - built-in replication; HA provided in an additional layer by Reis Cluster or Redis Sentinel)
With Redis Enteprise
Dynamic segment placement
Redis Scalability
High Availabiltiy can be achieved with Redis Enterprise.
Zilliz Cloud
Zilliz Cloud is a managed vector database service powered by Milvus. Its cloud-native architecture dynamically scales to 10B+ vectors, maintaining high performance and cost-efficiency without the need for new clusters or data sharding.
Redis vs. Zilliz Cloud on Functionality
Performance is the biggest challenge with vector databases as the number of unstructured data elements stored in a vector database grows into hundreds of millions or billions, and horizontal scaling across multiple nodes becomes paramount.
Furthermore, differences in insert rate, query rate, and underlying hardware may result in different application needs, making overall system tunability a mandatory feature for vector databases.
Yes - Pre-filtering documents against an index containing searchable fields
Yes, Hybrid sparse and dense search, hybrid keyword and vector search, hybrid vector search and scalar filtering, multimodal search
Yes.

Cardinal (The world's first AI-based Autoindex mechanism that selects the best search strategy and index for each dataset, eliminating the need for manual tuning.), closed-source.
Redis
Redis has supprt for similarity queries search with the use of vector fields; It is important to note that the k default LIMIT is 10.
Zilliz Cloud
Zilliz Cloud is a managed vector database service powered by Milvus. It uses the world's first AI-based Autoindex mechanism that selects the best search strategy and index for each dataset, eliminating the need for manual tuning. It offers intelligent resource management and tiered storage capabilities to minimize expenses while maintaining superior query speeds, ensuring you never compromise performance.

Redis vs. Zilliz Cloud: what’s right for me?
Redis is an in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, message broker, and streaming engine that has a vector field type for the storage, querying and indexing of vectors.
