For production, you can use our Qdrant Cloud to run Qdrant either fully managed in our infrastructure or with Hybrid Cloud in yours.
For testing or development setups, you can run the Qdrant container or as a binary executable.
If you want to run Qdrant in your own infrastructure, without any cloud connection, we recommend to install Qdrant in a Kubernetes cluster with our Qdrant Private Cloud Enterprise Operator.
If you want to run Qdrant in your own infrastructure, without any cloud connection, we recommend to install Qdrant in a Kubernetes cluster with our Helm chart, or to use our Qdrant Enterprise Operator.
For testing or development setups, you can run the Qdrant container or as a binary executable. We also provide a Helm chart for an easy installation in Kubernetes.
## Production
For production, we recommend that you configure Qdrant in the cloud, with Kubernetes, or with a Qdrant Enterprise Operator.
### Qdrant Cloud
You can set up production with the [Qdrant Cloud](https://qdrant.to/cloud), which provides fully managed Qdrant databases.
It provides horizontal and vertical scaling, one click installation and upgrades, monitoring, logging, as well as backup and disaster recovery. For more information, see the [Qdrant Cloud documentation](/documentation/cloud/).
### Qdrant Kubernetes Operator
We provide a Qdrant Enterprise Operator for Kubernetes installations as part of our [Qdrant Private Cloud](/documentation/private-cloud/) offering. For more information, [use this form](https://qdrant.to/contact-us) to contact us.
### Kubernetes
You can use a ready-made [Helm Chart](https://helm.sh/docs/) to run Qdrant in your Kubernetes cluster:
You can use a ready-made [Helm Chart](https://helm.sh/docs/) to run Qdrant in your Kubernetes cluster. While it is possible to deploy Qdrant in a distributed setup with the Helm chart, it does not come with the same level of features for zero-downtime upgrades, up and down-scaling, monitoring, logging, and backup and disaster recovery as the Qdrant Cloud offering or the Qdrant Private Cloud Enterprise Operator. Instead you must manage and set this up [yourself](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/guides/distributed_deployment/). Support for the Helm chart is limited to community support.
The following table gives you an overview about the feature differences between the Qdrant Cloud and the Helm chart:
| Feature | Qdrant Helm Chart | Qdrant Cloud |

| Community support only | ✅ | |

| Zero-downtime upgrades with optimized restart strategy | | ✅ |

### Qdrant Kubernetes Operator
We provide a Qdrant Enterprise Operator for Kubernetes installations. For more information, [use this form](https://qdrant.to/contact-us) to contact us.
### Docker and Docker Compose
Usually, we recommend to run Qdrant in Kubernetes, or use the Qdrant Cloud for production setups. This makes setting up highly available and scalable Qdrant clusters with backups and disaster recovery a lot easier.
