Rust-based open-source vector DB built for low latency

Visit Qdrantqdrant.tech

Tier across use cases

Strengths

  • Rust-based: lowest latency among open-source vector DBs
  • Strong filtered and hybrid (sparse+dense) search
  • Self-host free or managed Qdrant Cloud
  • Simple single-binary operations

Trade-offs

  • Throughput can lag pgvectorscale at very large scale
  • Heavy concurrent writes need tuning
  • Smaller ecosystem than Pinecone/Milvus

Key features

  • Rust HNSW engine
  • Low p99/p50 latency
  • Filtered + hybrid search
  • Self-host or cloud
  • Quantization for memory

Pricing

Open-source (self-host ucretsiz) + Qdrant Cloud (usage-based, free tier). Rust tabanli vector DB: dusuk latency (p99 ~12ms @10M, p50 <5ms), filtered/hybrid (sparse+dense) search. Fiyatlar yaklasik.
