Qdrant

This guide walks you through configuring a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline in Vectorize using Qdrant as the vector database.

Before you Begin

Ensure you have:

• A Vectorize account (Create one free here ↗ )

• A Qdrant cluster.

Configure the integration

To configure a vector database integration to connect to your Qdrant instance:

1. Click Vector Databases from the main menu.

2. Click New Vector Database Integration from the Vector Databases page.

3. Select the Qdrant card.

Qdrant Parameters

Field	Description	Required
Name	A descriptive name to identify the integration within Vectorize.	Yes
Host	The Qdrant cluster's endpoint.	Yes
API key	The Qdrant cluster's API key.	Yes

Configuring the Qdrant integration in a RAG Pipeline

You can think of the Qdrant integration as having two parts to it. The first is authorization with your Qdrant cluster. This part is re-usable across pipelines and allows you to connect to this same application in different pipelines without providing the credentials every time.

The second part is the configuration that's specific to your RAG Pipeline. This is where you specify the name of the collection in your Qdrant database. If the collection does not already exist, Vectorize will create it for you.
