Decision brief
High-performance vector database with support for distributed deployment.
Good fit when
- - When scalability and performance are paramount in handling large-scale embeddings.
- - If you seek a Rust-based solution that ensures efficient horizontal scaling through sharding and replication, offering zero downtime during updates or resizing.
Avoid when
- - Avoid if your project requires more traditional relational database features as Qdrant focuses exclusively on vectors.
- - If minimalistic setup is crucial, since Qdrant's capability for distributed deployment may introduce complexity that is not necessary for smaller-scale applications.
- Hosting:
- self hosted - Qdrant supports self-hosted deployment along with a cloud option at https://cloud.qdrant.io/.
- Requirements:
- - Distributed deployment with sharding and replication is supported.; - No specific minimum RAM requirement provided. Performance and resource use will depend on the scale of embedding collections.
