Last November, we quietly introduced the private beta of the [Weaviate Cloud Service](https://weaviate.io/pricing), a fully managed vector database as a service. Today we are announcing a big upgrade to the Weaviate Cloud and availability of the public beta release of the service.​

The Weaviate Cloud enables AI application developers to use the Weaviate as a fully managed cloud service. It’s the easiest way to get a vector database cluster up and running within minutes so you can get right to loading, vectorizing, and searching your data.​

The Weaviate Cloud is in public beta. General Availability is planned for release later in 2023, after we’ve addressed feedback from public beta users.​I f you’d like to try Weaviate Cloud, you can create a [free Weaviate Cloud Sandbox here](https://console.weaviate.cloud/).

If you have questions or feedback, please reply in this thread!
