Community Edition gives you a fast single-node engine with vectors, rules, and an admin UI. Enterprise unlocks elastic sharding with consensus replication, tiered storage with cloud offload, distributed vector indexing, plus SSO, KMS, tamper-evident audit, DR, enterprise connectors, and SLA-backed support.
Elastic sharding, consensus replication, automatic failover, and rolling upgrades that keep traffic online.
SSO, KMS, audit trails, retention policies, and legal hold for regulated workloads.
Route semantic queries across shard-local indexes with hybrid BM25+ANN ranking and freshness controls.
Balance hot, warm, and cold data with automated S3/GCS offload, lifecycle policies, and cost controls.
Perfect for dev, pilots, and single-node production.
For teams that need scale, compliance, and SLA.
