Qdrant Scaling

First determine what you're scaling for:

• data volume
• query throughput (QPS)
• query latency
• query volume

After determining the scaling goal, we can choose scaling strategy based on tradeoffs and assumptions. Each pulls toward different strategies. Scaling for throughput and latency are opposite tuning directions.

Scaling Data Volume

This becomes relevant when volume of the dataset exceeds the capacity of a single node. Read more about scaling for data volume in Scaling Data Volume
