Qdrant

Qdrant

High-performance vector database and similarity search engine for AI

Qdrant is an open-source, high-performance vector database and similarity search engine engineered in Rust for production AI systems, semantic search engines, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. It provides lightning-fast nearest-neighbor search with rich payload filtering and custom distance metrics. Unlike traditional databases adapted for vectors, Qdrant was designed from day one to handle high-dimensional neural embeddings at scale. Its Rust engine provides memory-efficient vector quantization (scalar, product, and binary), allowing engineering teams to search billions of vectors on cost-effective cloud hardware.
