I would like to request support for a managed Milvus vector database offering on DigitalOcean.

Milvus has become one of the leading open source vector databases for AI and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workloads. Many developers and companies are increasingly using vector search for semantic search, AI assistants, recommendation systems, document retrieval, and multimodal AI applications.

A managed Milvus service on DigitalOcean would provide significant value for teams building AI-native applications, especially those already using DigitalOcean Kubernetes, Spaces, and GPU infrastructure.

Key capabilities that would be valuable include:

* Fully managed Milvus deployment

* Automated scaling and upgrades

* Persistent storage integration

* High availability and backups

* Private networking and VPC support

* S3-compatible object storage integration

* Monitoring and metrics

* Secure authentication and role management

* Compatibility with embedding-based AI workflows and RAG architectures

There is growing demand for vector database infrastructure, and adding managed Milvus support would strengthen DigitalOcean’s AI and developer platform ecosystem.
