In their own words
Qdrant
Qdrant is a vector similarity search engine and API for storing, searching, and managing vectors with payload data. A point can pair a vector with JSON metadata that filters search results. It supports dense, sparse, and multivector configurations, plus hybrid retrieval that combines semantic and lexical search. These capabilities can serve semantic search and recommendation systems. Qdrant can run locally with its Docker image or through Qdrant Cloud. REST and gRPC APIs are available, along with official client libraries for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, Go, .NET, and Java. Listed integrations include LangChain, LlamaIndex, Airbyte, Unstructured, DocArray, and AutoGen. The free cloud tier is intended for testing and prototypes, with a single-node cluster, 1GB RAM, and 4GB disk. Qdrant Cloud enables TLS and encryption at rest; self-hosted users must configure these controls, and authentication and encryption are off by default in self-hosted open-source deployments. Qdrant was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Berlin, Germany.
