FAQ
Will my Chroma client code work with Qdrant?
No. Qdrant has its own SDKs (Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, .NET, Java), so your query code changes.
Do I have to re-embed my data?
No. The migration tool copies your dense embeddings, metadata, and document text as they are.
How do you keep tenants isolated?
Each point carries a tenant ID, and a tenant-indexed payload filter scopes every query.
Can you meet our security review?
Qdrant holds SOC 2 Type II, signs a HIPAA BAA on Qdrant Managed Cloud, and provides a GDPR Data Processing Agreement. Reports and policies are at qdrant.tech/security.
