# Weaviate Features (public)

DigitalOcean Managed Weaviate is a fully managed Weaviate vector database for retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, and similarity-based AI workloads. Clusters are provisioned, secured, backed up, and patched by DigitalOcean.

Managed Weaviate is in [public preview](https://docs.digitalocean.com/platform/product-lifecycle/index.html.md#public-preview). Create clusters from the [Vector Databases page](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/vectordatabases) and select **Weaviate** as the engine.

Each Managed Weaviate cluster includes:

- **Weaviate 1.37.4:** Clusters run version `1.37.4`. DigitalOcean upgrades the engine on a managed cadence, and new clusters are always provisioned on the latest supported version. See [How DigitalOcean Manages Weaviate Version Upgrades](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/vector-databases/weaviate/how-to/upgrade-version/index.html.md).
- **Open-source Weaviate API:** REST, GraphQL, and gRPC endpoints. Official clients for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, and Java work without modification. See the [client libraries overview](https://docs.weaviate.io/weaviate/client-libraries).
- **Hybrid search:** Combine vector similarity and BM25 keyword relevance in a single query using the [hybrid search API](https://docs.weaviate.io/weaviate/search/hybrid).
- **Automatic backups:** Daily backups with a seven day retention period. See [How to Restore Weaviate Clusters from Backups](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/vector-databases/weaviate/how-to/restore-from-backups/index.html.md).
- **Fork clusters:** Create a new cluster from an existing cluster at a specific point in time. See [How to Fork Weaviate Clusters](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/vector-databases/weaviate/how-to/fork-clusters/index.html.md).
- **Insights and logs:** Monitor cluster performance and review cluster logs from the Control Panel. See [How to Monitor Weaviate Clusters](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/vector-databases/weaviate/how-to/monitor-clusters/index.html.md).
- **Credential rotation:** Reset the cluster admin API token from the Control Panel. See [How to Rotate Weaviate Credentials](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/vector-databases/weaviate/how-to/rotate-credentials/index.html.md).
- **Tags:** Organize clusters for billing and reporting. See [How to Tag Weaviate Clusters](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/vector-databases/weaviate/how-to/tag/index.html.md).
- **TLS by default:** All connections are secured over HTTPS (port 443) for both HTTP and gRPC.
