Configuring your existing managed Qdrant
To use Superlinked with Qdrant, start a managed instance provided by Qdrant (a free-tier is available). For detailed steps on initializing a managed instance, refer to the Start a Managed Qdrant Instance section below. Once your Qdrant instance is up and running, ensure it is accessible from the server that will use it. Additionally, configure the necessary authentication settings as described below.Modifications in your configuration
To integrate Qdrant, you need to add theQdrantVectorDatabase
class and include it in the executor. Here’s how you can do it:

You can create either free-tier or production-ready clusters:Free-tier specifications:
- 0.5 vCPU
- 1GB memory
- 4GB disk space
- Running on 1 node
You can customize these parameters with a paid plan for production workloads.

Create the cluster
After configuring your preferences, create the cluster.
Wait for the cluster to be fully provisioned and show as “Running” status.
