Spend less time managing infrastructure
Stop allocating engineering cycles to upgrades, patching, backups, and scaling. Keep your team focused on shipping AI product features.
Managed Weaviate on DigitalOcean
Run Weaviate in production without managing infrastructure
Deploy fully managed Weaviate clusters on DigitalOcean while your team focuses on building AI applications, not operating database infrastructure.
Deploy production clusters in minutes
Provision from the DigitalOcean control panel, API, or doctl, then connect with official Weaviate SDKs without rewriting your stack.
Keep AI applications online
Run production RAG, semantic search, hybrid retrieval, and agentic workflows on infrastructure designed for uptime and operational continuity.
Scale with predictable operational costs
Start at $20/month with flat pricing, no per-query read unit fees, and no per-dimension pricing surprises as usage grows.
Why build on DigitalOcean
Fully managed infrastructure for open-source Weaviate
Keep the Weaviate engine, APIs, and SDK compatibility your team already uses, while moving daily infrastructure operations out of your sprint plan.
Open source portability without platform lock-in
Managed Weaviate is part of the DigitalOcean ecosystem alongside Managed Databases, Knowledge Bases, and Serverless Inference.
Build retrieval and generation pipelines on one platform with unified billing and no egress fees between DigitalOcean services.
The platform is OpenAI-compatible and includes native integration paths for DigitalOcean Serverless Inference.
Recover quickly with managed backups
Scale storage without migration projects
Stay secure with managed patching
Protect traffic with TLS by default on port 443
Stay current without maintenance windows
Maintain uptime with high availability
Diagnose faster with integrated insights and logs
Rotate credentials without downtime
Get started
Deployment journey:
from cluster to production
Managed Weaviate runs the unmodified open-source engine with full compatibility for GraphQL, REST, and gRPC, so your deployment model can change without rewriting application logic.
STEP 1
Provision
Create a cluster from the control panel, API, or doctl and start with production-ready defaults.
STEP 2
Connect
Connect using your HTTP host, gRPC host, and API key with official Weaviate SDKs and compatible APIs.
STEP 3
Build
Ship RAG, semantic search, hybrid retrieval, and agentic workflows while DigitalOcean handles infrastructure operations.
Pricing
Managed Weaviate starts at $20/mo with flat pricing built for production usage
There are no per-query read unit fees and no per-dimension pricing penalties, so costs stay predictable as applications scale.
RQ8 compression is enabled by default, reducing RAM usage by approximately 4x versus uncompressed vectors while preserving recall.
