Qdrant has the following guarantees about version compatibility:
Major and minor versions of Qdrant and SDK are expected to match. For example, Qdrant 1.17.x is compatible with SDK 1.17.x.
Qdrant is tested for backward compatibility between minor versions. For example, Qdrant 1.17.x should be compatible with SDK 1.16.x. Qdrant server 1.16.x is also expected to be compatible with SDK 1.17.x, but only for the subset of features that were available in 1.16.x.
For migration to the next minor version, it is recommended to first upgrade the SDK to the next minor version and then upgrade the Qdrant server.
Storage compatibility is only guaranteed for one minor version. For example, data stored with Qdrant 1.16.x is expected to be compatible with Qdrant 1.17.x. If you need to migrate more than one minor version, it is required do the upgrade step by step, one minor version at a time. For example, to migrate from 1.15.x to 1.17.x, you need to first upgrade to 1.16.x and then to 1.17.x. Note: Qdrant Cloud automates this process, so you can directly upgrade from 1.15.x to 1.17.x without intermediate steps.
A Qdrant cluster with a replication factor of 2 or higher can be upgraded without downtime by performing a rolling upgrade. This means that you can upgrade one node at a time while the other nodes continue to serve requests. This allows you to maintain availability of your application during the upgrade process.

For managing Qdrant version upgrades in Qdrant Cloud, you can use the qcloud CLI tool.
tools
Create a new workshop or use an existing directory as one. Handles two paths: (A) use an existing local directory the operator points at, or (B) create a new private GitHub repo in the signed-in account. Never creates a repo inside another repo.
development
Guide for setting up vcpkg in C++ projects, managing dependency versions, and cross-compiling. Covers manifest initialization, CMake and Visual Studio integration, classic-to-manifest migration, version pinning, baselines, overrides, triplets, and cross-compilation. Use when a user is working with vcpkg project setup, installation, version management, or cross-platform builds. For specialized tasks, additional references cover custom registries and overlay ports (references/registries.md), CI/CD and binary caching (references/ci.md), and troubleshooting and dependency lifecycle (references/troubleshooting.md).
testing
Emit structured agent signals — hands-up, blocked, done, checkpoint, partnership. Signals are written as JSON to .signals/ for dashboard consumption and noted in the journal for persistence.
development
Install and configure Markstream streaming Markdown renderers for Vue, React, Svelte, Angular, Nuxt, and Vue 2 applications. Use for package selection, minimal peer dependencies, CSS order, SSR boundaries, streaming mode, and renderer setup.
