Qdrant Documentation

Qdrant is an AI-native vector search engine for storing, indexing, and searching high-dimensional vectors — powering semantic search, RAG pipelines, recommendation systems, and AI-native applications.

Getting Started

• Local Quickstart — Run Qdrant locally with Docker, connect a client SDK, and create your first collection.
• Cloud Quickstart — Create a free Qdrant Cloud cluster on AWS, GCP, or Azure and query it in minutes.
• Overview — How vector search works, the client-server architecture, and core data structures (points, vectors, payloads, collections).
• API & SDKs — Connect via REST or gRPC with official client libraries for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, Go, Java, and .NET.

Develop

• Manage Data — Create collections, insert and update points and payloads, configure vector indexes, quantization, and multitenancy.
• Search — Similarity search, filtering, hybrid and multimodal queries, multi-stage pipelines, and relevance tuning.
• Inference — Configure dense, sparse, and multi-vector embeddings; use cloud-hosted embedding models directly within Qdrant.
• Qdrant Edge — Lightweight embedded vector search for in-process, offline-capable retrieval on robots, kiosks, and mobile devices.

Deploy

• Deploy Overview — Compare all Qdrant deployment options: Managed Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, Private Cloud, and self-hosted.
• Installation — Install Qdrant via Docker, Kubernetes, or binary on Linux, macOS, or Windows.
• Managed Cloud — Qdrant as a managed service on AWS, GCP, or Azure with automatic scaling, backups, and zero-downtime upgrades.
• Hybrid Cloud — Deploy into your own Kubernetes cluster while managing through Qdrant Cloud.
• Private Cloud — Fully air-gapped deployment in your own Kubernetes cluster with no Qdrant Cloud connectivity required.
• Distributed Deployment — Multi-node clusters with horizontal sharding and replication for scale and fault tolerance.
• Security — API keys, JWT-based collection-scoped access control, TLS encryption, and network binding.
• Configuration — Customize Qdrant via config files and environment variables; runtime administration tools; GPU-accelerated vector indexing.
• Monitoring & Telemetry — Monitor Qdrant with Prometheus and Grafana via built-in OpenMetrics endpoints.
• Optimization — Tune for high-speed search, high precision, or low memory usage; understand how the background optimizer works.
• Production Checklist — Pre-launch review of sharding, replication, quantization, load balancing, and observability.
• Capacity Planning — Estimate RAM and disk for vectors, payloads, indexes, and replication factors.
• Snapshots — Back up and restore collections with snapshots for disaster recovery and cross-cluster replication.
• Troubleshooting — Diagnose common runtime errors: open-file limits, filesystem incompatibilities, corrupted collection metadata.

Ecosystem

• Frameworks — Integrations with 40+ AI agent and RAG frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack, CrewAI, AutoGen, Spring AI, and more.
• Embedding Providers — Connect to 30+ providers: OpenAI, Cohere, Jina, Mistral, AWS Bedrock, Voyage AI, Ollama, and more.
• Platforms — No-code and low-code integrations with n8n, Make, MuleSoft, Pipedream, and more.

Tutorials & Examples

• Tutorials — Hub for all tutorials covering basics, search engineering, retrieval quality, operations, migrations, and ecosystem integrations.
• Examples — End-to-end code samples for RAG pipelines, hybrid search, multitenancy, recommendations, and multimodal search.

Learn

• Articles — Long-form articles on vector search, RAG, quantization, hybrid retrieval, and Qdrant internals from the engineering team.
• Qdrant Academy — Free, self-paced courses on vector search, hybrid retrieval, multivectors, and production-grade AI search applications.
• Tutorials — Hub for all tutorials covering basics, search engineering, retrieval quality, operations, migrations, and ecosystem integrations.

API Reference

• Qdrant API Reference — Full REST API reference for all Qdrant operations: collections, points, search, indexing, cluster management, and more.
