# Qdrant > High-performance open-source vector database and similarity search engine designed for AI applications at massive scale. Qdrant is a leading open-source vector database and similarity search engine designed to handle high-dimensional vectors for performance and massive-scale AI applications. Built in Rust for unmatched speed and reliability, it powers advanced search, recommendation systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), data analysis, anomaly detection, and AI agents. Qdrant offers flexible deployment options including managed cloud, hybrid cloud, and private cloud solutions. - **High-Performance Vector Search** - Purpose-built in Rust to process billions of vectors with exceptional speed and reliability, delivering enterprise-grade performance for demanding AI workloads. - **Cloud-Native Scalability** - Enterprise-grade managed cloud with vertical and horizontal scaling, zero-downtime upgrades, and high availability across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. - **Flexible Deployment Options** - Choose from fully managed cloud, hybrid cloud (bring your own Kubernetes clusters), or private cloud for maximum control and data sovereignty. - **Cost Efficiency with Quantization** - Dramatically reduce memory usage with built-in compression options and offload data to disk for optimized resource utilization. - **Advanced Filtering & Payload Support** - Combine vector similarity search with payload filtering for nuanced queries and multimodal data handling. - **Easy Integration** - Integrates with all leading embeddings and frameworks, with SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Rust, Go, and more. - **Enterprise Security** - SOC2 Type 2 certified with RBAC, SSO, granular API keys, and GDPR compliance support for regulated environments. - **Monitoring & Observability** - Built-in support for Prometheus/OpenMetrics, Datadog, Grafana, and other third-party monitoring integrations. To get started, deploy Qdrant locally with Docker using `docker pull qdrant/qdrant` and `docker run -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant`, or sign up for Qdrant Cloud with a free 1GB cluster. The comprehensive documentation and quick start guide help developers build production-ready vector search applications for matching, searching, and recommending. ## Features - High-dimensional vector similarity search - Cloud-native scalability with horizontal and vertical scaling - Built-in quantization for memory optimization - Payload filtering and metadata support - Multimodal data handling - Zero-downtime upgrades - High availability and auto-healing - Backup and disaster recovery - Role-based access control (RBAC) - Single sign-on (SSO) - Prometheus/OpenMetrics monitoring - Datadog and Grafana integration - REST and gRPC APIs - Docker deployment - Terraform support - Multiple distance metrics - Recommendation API - Hybrid cloud deployment - Private cloud deployment - SOC2 Type 2 certification ## Integrations AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Prometheus, Datadog, Grafana, LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, Hugging Face ## Platforms WEB, API, LINUX, WINDOWS, MACOS, DEVELOPER_SDK ## Pricing Freemium — Free tier available with paid upgrades ## Links - Website: https://qdrant.tech - Documentation: https://qdrant.tech/documentation/ - Repository: https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/qdrant
