Attu is an AI-native management GUI for the Milvus vector database, available as a web app (Docker/Kubernetes) or desktop app. It lets users browse collections, run vector searches, manage backups, monitor cluster health, and interact with an LLM-powered agent that can execute Milvus operations via natural language.

Use cases

  • manage milvus vector database collections through a gui
  • run vector similarity searches against milvus
  • backup and restore milvus collections to s3 or local zip
  • chat with an ai agent to query and manage milvus schemas
  • monitor milvus cluster health and slow requests
  • import and export collection data as csv json or parquet
  • manage milvus users roles and rbac across clusters

When to choose

  • you administer Milvus or Zilliz Cloud and want a visual management tool
  • you need backup/restore, RBAC, and metrics for Milvus in one place
  • you want natural-language AI assistance for Milvus operations
  • you prefer a Docker-deployable web UI or cross-platform desktop app

When to avoid

  • you use a vector database other than Milvus
  • you need fully automated, scriptable administration rather than a GUI
  • you require an OSI-approved open-source license (the license is non-standard)
  • you run Milvus 2.6.x, which Attu v3 does not support
