Updating Qdrant Cloud Clusters

As soon as a new Qdrant version is available. Qdrant Cloud will show you an update notification in the Cluster list and on the Cluster details page.

To update to a new version, go to the Cluster Details page, choose the new version from the version dropdown and click Update.

If you are several versions behind, multiple updates might be required to reach the latest version. In this case, Qdrant Cloud will automatically perform the required intermediate updates to ensure a supported update path. You should still ensure that your client applications and used SKDs are compatible with the target version.

If you have a multi-node cluster and if your collections have a replication factor of at least 2, the update process will be zero-downtime and done in a rolling fashion. You will be able to use your database cluster normally.

If you have a single-node cluster or a collection with a replication factor of 1, the update process will require a short downtime period to restart your cluster with the new version.

See also Restart Mode for more details.

We advise taking a backup before updating to allow for rollbacks.
