Don't start with Milvus clustered version, not unless you have like 100million vectors.

Try Milvus standalone instead, much simpler. I also just found their python version (https://github.com/milvus-io/embd-milvus), which is quite neat.

Also my experience. And since Qdrant has now cloud service, it is the choice number one. Best of both worlds. Just missing the GCP support.
