Explore the components of a vector database—storage and indexing, search and retrieval of similar vectors, APIs, role-based access control, and monitoring—contrasting with relational systems.
Explore how vector embeddings convert unstructured data into fixed-length vectors using embedding models, revealing semantic similarity through vector distances and enabling image and audio search, recommendations, and question answering systems.
Explore vector similarity metrics by comparing two vectors in a two-dimensional vector space using Euclidean distance, cosine similarity, and dot product to quantify similarity scores.
Explore vector quantization in Qdrant, including scalar, binary, and product quantization, and learn how lossy compression reduces storage and speeds up search for high-dimensional vectors.
Qdrant is an Open Source vector database with in-built vector similarity search engine. Qdrant is written in Rust and is proven to be fast and reliable even under high load in production environment. Qdrant provides convenient API to store, search and manage vectors along with the associated payload for the vectors.
