">[Qdrant](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/) (read: quadrant ) is a vector similarity search engine. It provides a production-ready service with a convenient API to store, search, and manage points - vectors with an additional payload. `Qdrant` is tailored to extended filtering support. It makes it useful for all sorts of neural network or semantic-based matching, faceted search, and other applications.\n",
"Python client allows you to run the same code in local mode without running the Qdrant server. That's great for testing things out and debugging or if you plan to store just a small amount of vectors. The embeddings might be fully kepy in memory or persisted on disk.\n",
"\n",
"#### In-memory\n",
"\n",
"For some testing scenarios and quick experiments, you may prefer to keep all the data in memory only, so it gets lost when the client is destroyed - usually at the end of your script/notebook."
"No matter if you choose to launch Qdrant locally with [a Docker container](https://qdrant.tech/documentation/install/), or select a Kubernetes deployment with [the official Helm chart](https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant-helm), the way you're going to connect to such an instance will be identical. You'll need to provide a URL pointing to the service."
"If you prefer not to keep yourself busy with managing the infrastructure, you can choose to set up a fully-managed Qdrant cluster on [Qdrant Cloud](https://cloud.qdrant.io/). There is a free forever 1GB cluster included for trying out. The main difference with using a managed version of Qdrant is that you'll need to provide an API key to secure your deployment from being accessed publicly."
"Both `Qdrant.from_texts` and `Qdrant.from_documents` methods are great to start using Qdrant with LangChain, but **they are going to destroy the collection and create it from scratch**! If you want to reuse the existing collection, you can always create an instance of `Qdrant` on your own and pass the `QdrantClient` instance with the connection details."
"The simplest scenario for using Qdrant vector store is to perform a similarity search. Under the hood, our query will be encoded with the `embedding_function` and used to find similar documents in Qdrant collection."
