qdrant-deployment-options
Guides Qdrant deployment selection. Use when someone asks 'how to deploy Qdrant', 'Docker vs Cloud', 'local mode', 'embedded Qdrant', 'Qdrant EDGE', 'which deployment option', 'self-hosted vs cloud', or 'need lowest latency deployment'. Also use when choosing between deployment types for a new project.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, codex, cursor.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Which Qdrant Deployment Do I Need? Start with what you need: managed ops or full control? Network latency acceptable or not? Production or prototyping? The answer narrows to one of four options. ## Getting Started or Prototyping Use when: building a prototype, running tests, CI/CD pipelines, or learning Qdrant. - Use local mode (Python only): zero-dependency, in-memory or disk-persisted, no server needed [Local mode](https://search.qdrant.tech/md/documentation/quickstart/) - Local mode data format is NOT compatible with server. Do not use for production or benchmarking. - For a real server locally, use Docker [Quick start](https://search.qdrant.tech/md/documentation/quickstart/?s=download-and-run) ## Going to Production (Self-Hosted) Use when: you need full control over infrastructure, data residency, or custom configuration. - Docker is the default deployment. Full Qdrant Open Source feature set, minimal setup. [Quick start](https://search.qdrant.tech/md/documentation/quickstart/?s=download-and-run) - You own operations: upgrades, backups, scaling, monitoring - Must set up distributed mode manually for multi-node clusters [Distributed deployment](https://search.qdrant.tech/md/do

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill qdrant-deployment-options --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
