qdrant-tenant-scaling

A guide for scaling Qdrant when many customers, teams, or repositories share one search system. It explains multi-tenancy, where each tenant's data is kept logically separate while using shared infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design tenant isolation, payload partitioning, custom sharding, and tiered storage for workloads with thousands or more tenants.
Why use it?
Creating a separate database collection for every tenant wastes resources and eventually stops scaling. The guide explains shared collections, tenant filters, and dedicated shards for very large or busy tenants.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

qdrant-tenant-scaling scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What to Do When Scaling Multi-Tenant Qdrant

Do not create one collection per tenant. Does not scale past a few hundred and wastes resources. One company hit the 1000 collection limit after a year of collection-per-repo and had to migrate to payload partitioning. Use a shared collection with a tenant key.

Here is a short summary of the patterns:

Number of Tenants is around 10k

Use the default multitenancy strategy via payload filtering.

Read about Partition by payload and Calibrate performance for best practices on indexing and query performance.

Number of Tenants is around 100k and more

At this scale, the cluster may consist of several peers. To localize tenant data and improve performance, use custom sharding to assign tenants to specific shards based on tenant ID hash. This will localize tenant requests to specific nodes instead of broadcasting them to all nodes, improving performance and reducing load on each node.

If tenants are unevenly sized

If some tenants are much larger than others, use tiered multitenancy to promote large tenants to dedicated shards while keeping small tenants on shared shards. This optimizes resource allocation and performance for tenants of varying sizes.

Need Strict Tenant Isolation

Use when: legal/compliance requirements demand per-tenant encryption or strict isolation beyond what payload filtering provides.

  • Multiple collections may be necessary for per-tenant encryption keys
  • Limit collection count and use payload filtering within each collection
  • This is the exception, not the default. Only use when compliance requires it.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
