What is Qdrant?

Qdrant is a vector database designed to store, search, and retrieve high-dimensional vector data at scale. It's built for applications that need fast similarity search, such as recommendation systems, semantic search, and AI-powered features. The tool handles vector embeddings from machine learning models and returns results based on semantic similarity rather than exact matching. Qdrant works well for teams building AI applications, search functionality, or systems that need to understand meaning rather than just keywords. It offers both cloud and self-hosted options, making it suitable for startups and enterprises with different infrastructure requirements.
