Qdrant is one of the few vendors I actively steer people away from. Look at the GitHub issues, look at what their CEO says, look at their fake “advancements” that they pay for publicity on…

The number of people I know who’ve had unrecoverable shard failures on Qdrant is too high to take it seriously.

I’m curious about this. Could you please point to some things the CEO has said, or reports of shard failures?

The bit about paying for publicity doesn’t bother me.

Edit: I haven’t found anything egregious that the CEO has said, or anything really sketchy. The shard failure warnings look serious, but the issues look closed

There used to be a benchmarking issue with a founder that was particularly egregious but I can’t find it anymore.

The sharding and consensus issues were from around a year and a half ago, so maybe it’s gotten better.

There are just so many options in the space, I don’t know why you’d go with one of the least correct vendors (whether or not the correctness is deception is a different question that I can’t answer)
