Qdrant is an open-source vector similarity search engine and vector database written in Rust. Engineered for extended durability and high performance, Qdrant provides advanced payload-based filtering, scalar quantization, and hybrid search capabilities that combine dense vector embeddings with sparse BM25 keyword matching.

Developers can deploy Qdrant completely free on their own cloud infrastructure via Docker or utilize Qdrant Cloud's permanent 1GB free tier. With client libraries for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust, and Go, Qdrant is widely considered the top open-source vector search solution for enterprise AI systems.
