Choose bootcamp if…
- bootcamp is primarily Jupyter Notebook; vald is Go.
- Tags unique to bootcamp: audio-search, deep-learning, embeddings, image-classification.
- Also covers Computer Vision, Evaluation & Observability, Speech & Audio.
- - **When you need comprehensive integration guides**: Bootcamp offers detailed notebooks covering diverse use cases such as RAG, semantic search, hybrid searches, question answering systems, and video
When NOT to use bootcamp
- - **When you want quick and minimal setup**: Bootcamp provides extensive integration possibilities but may require more setup effort compared to simpler tools, which could be a drawback if streamlined
- operations are needed.
- - **If focused on non-vector database solutions**: Since bootcamp is specific to Milvus and its wide array of vector search functionalities, it's less useful for those looking into other types of data
- storage or processing that do not involve vector databases.
Choose vald if…
- vald is primarily Go; bootcamp is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to vald: anng, approximate-nearest-neighbor-search, cloud-native, distributed-systems.
- Requires high-performance searches in a distributed system
When NOT to use vald
- Need lower scalability vector search solutions
- Cannot use Kubernetes 1.19 or above
- Do not have AVX2 support in the system environment
