Weaviate 1.14 release — MTTR reduction and improved import performance

AI Impact Summary

Weaviate 1.14 introduces critical reliability improvements, most notably a dramatically reduced Mean-Time-To-Recovery (MTTR) for crashes, now measured in seconds instead of minutes or hours. This release also addresses performance bottlenecks during large-scale data imports, enabling the import of over 200 million objects with consistent performance. Furthermore, the addition of Prometheus-compatible metrics and support for L2 and Dot Product distances expands Weaviate's observability and use cases.
