Introducing Qdrant Cloud’s New Enterprise-Ready Vector Search

At Qdrant, we enable developers to power AI workloads - not only securely, but at any scale. That’s why we are excited to introduce Qdrant Cloud’s new suite of enterprise-grade features. With our Cloud API, Cloud RBAC, Single Sign-On (SSO), granular Database API Keys, and Advanced Monitoring & Observability, you now have the control and visibility needed to operate at scale.

Securely Scale Your AI Workloads

Your enterprise-grade AI applications demand more than just a powerful vector database—they need to meet compliance, performance, and scalability requirements. To do that, you need simplified management, secure access & authentication, and real-time monitoring & observability. Now, Qdrant’s new enterprise-grade features address these needs, giving your team the tools to reduce operational overhead, simplify authentication, enforce access policies, and have deep visibility into performance.

Our New Qdrant Cloud Capabilities:

• Cloud API for Simplified Management → Automate and scale with API-driven control and Terraform support.
• Secure Access & Authentication → Control who gets in and what they can do with Cloud RBAC, SSO, and granular Database API Keys.
• Advanced Monitoring & Observability → Stay ahead of issues with Prometheus/OpenMetrics, Datadog, Grafana, and other third-party integrations.

Ok, now for the good part…

Cloud API for Simplified Management

Skip the UI—manage Qdrant entirely through code. The Qdrant Cloud API lets you automate cluster creation, updates, and scaling, ensuring repeatable, version-controlled deployments. You can also programmatically generate and revoke API keys, update configurations, and adapt infrastructure as workloads change.

You can manage the Qdrant Cloud lifecycle with Qdrant’s Terraform Provider. With this support, you can define and automate cluster provisioning using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) best practices.

Why it matters: By automating cluster management and scaling, Qdrant helps you focus on building AI-powered applications, not maintaining infrastructure.

Secure Access & Authentication - Control the Who and What

Cloud RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) - The Who

With Cloud RBAC, you can define precise role-based permissions for team members managing clusters, billing, and hybrid cloud deployments in Qdrant Cloud. Instead of granting broad, unrestricted access, teams can assign permissions based on roles, ensuring tighter security and compliance.

Granular Database API Keys - The What

Database API Keys let applications and services directly interact with data inside Qdrant. You can grant API access at the cluster, collection, or even vector level, specifying read-only or read/write permissions for each key.

Unlike Cloud RBAC, which governs team permissions in the Cloud Console, Database API Keys control how external applications access stored data. You can define fine-grained API key permissions, apply Time-to-Live (TTL) expiration policies, and revoke keys instantly—without requiring a database restart (only available in Qdrant Cloud).

To further refine access, payload-based filters allow you to restrict API keys to only retrieve vectors that match specific metadata conditions. Before finalizing an API key, you can preview its access settings to ensure it behaves as expected—reducing misconfigurations and improving security.

Single Sign-On (SSO) for Simplified Authentication

SSO eliminates password sprawl by allowing users to log in through Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD (Entra ID), SAML, PingFederate, and more—enforcing authentication policies while reducing IT overhead. Instead of managing separate credentials, users simply enter their company email and are redirected to their organization’s authentication system.

SSO setup is fully supported—to enable it for your company, contact Qdrant support, and our team will guide you through the setup process. SSO also works with multi-factor authentication (MFA) for additional security.

SSO is only available for Premium Tier customers. Learn more about SSO.

Why it matters: By integrating Cloud RBAC, granular Database API Keys and SSO, Qdrant Cloud helps your team have the right access at the right time—without unnecessary friction.

Advanced Monitoring and Observability for Full Performance Insights

Qdrant Cloud provides real-time visibility into database performance with built-in Prometheus/OpenMetrics support. You can monitor CPU usage, memory usage, disk space, request volumes, and query latencies directly in the Qdrant Cloud Console, giving you a live overview of system health.

For deeper analytics, Qdrant lets you integrate with your existing monitoring stack, including Datadog, Grafana, and other enterprise observability tools. Every Qdrant Cloud cluster includes a metrics endpoint, accessible via a read-only API key, providing Prometheus and OpenTelemetry compatible data for easy ingestion into Grafana Cloud or any other supported monitoring system.

Qdrant also provides a ready-to-use Grafana dashboard to help you visualize key database metrics, including historical performance data, cluster uptime, request latencies, backup schedules, and network I/O.

You can set up customizable alerts in Grafana, Prometheus, or Datadog to track key performance indicators such as memory, storage, and query latency thresholds.

For historical performance tracking, third-party integrations allow you to analyze trends over time, providing deeper insights into system performance and long-term optimization strategies.

Why it matters: With detailed telemetry, automated alerts, and deep observability integrations, you can troubleshoot issues faster, optimize database performance, and scale AI applications.
