Qdrant
Open-source vector search engine built in Rust, providing fast and scalable similarity search infrastructure for production AI applications including RAG systems, AI agents, and recommendation engines.
Overview
Qdrant is a Berlin-based company building an open-source vector search engine written in Rust for production AI workloads. The platform provides fast, scalable similarity search with a convenient API, serving as core infrastructure for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agents, recommendation engines, semantic search, and anomaly detection. Key technical differentiators include native hybrid search combining dense and sparse vectors in a single query, advanced metadata filtering applied during search traversal rather than post-processing, multi-vector support for multimodal retrieval, real-time indexing without full reindex cycles, and efficient quantization reducing memory consumption up to 64x. Qdrant supports deployment across managed cloud, on-premises, hybrid cloud, and edge environments. The Series B round of 0M led by AVP brought total funding to 7.5M, supporting the company's mission to scale composable vector search for enterprise AI.
