Running a more powerful retrieval engine in production
Milvus has expanded beyond vector search into a more powerful retrieval enginecombining vector, full-text, & structured search over data stored in open lake formats.
Milvus 3.0 brings more of the retrieval workflow into one engine while allowing data to remain in formats such as Parquet, Lance, Iceberg, & Vortexwithout maintaining another serving copy.
Join Milvus maintainers, AWS architects, & engineers working on retrieval at scale for a practical look at the new architecture, its tradeoffs, & what it changes in production.
What well cover
Vector, full-text, & structured search in one retrieval engine
Searching lake-resident data without another serving copy
When to use External Collections versus native Milvus collections
Using snapshots & batch workflows for evaluation & re-embedding
Agenda
5:30 pm Check-in. Food & drinks.
6 pm Opening: AWS welcome + Milvus community intro
6:10 pm
Talk: Milvus 3.0: A More Powerful Retrieval Engine
Speaker: Jiang Chen, Head of Developer Relations & Solutions, Milvus/Zilliz
Outline:Engineers maintaining a data lake & retrieval system faces a challenge: either copy lake-resident embeddings into a separate serving system, or search the lake directly & accept brute-force scans & impractical latency. Milvus 3.0 introduces a third path. With lake-native External Collections, Milvus can build index thus efficiently serve searches on vector, full-text, JSON, & scalar data over lake files on object storage. Milvus 3.0 also enhances the retrieval engine in sorting, aggregation, faceted search, nested documents. This talk will share the architectural change that makes this possible, as well as new features in full-text search & more flexible data modeling.
6:40 pm
Talk: Large Scale Entity Resolution with Milvus at 6sense
Speaker: Premal Shah, The Co-Founder & Chief Architect at 6sense, the B2B go-to-market technology company that helps marketing & sales teams generate pipeline. Premal leads the architecture of the data & AI platforms behind 6sense, with a focus on systems that search & reason over very large datasets. Premal will share how 6sense uses Milvus for entity resolution at scale.
7:10 pm Break
7:30 pm
Speaker: Amit Sharma, the senior manager at AWS Partner
8:00 pm Networking!
9:00 pm Close
