2024–2025

Qdrant introduces granular access control via JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), allowing fine-grained permissions for users and restricting access to sensitive endpoints. This enhances security for enterprise customers and those productionizing large-scale Generative AI applications. The release also includes optimized shard transfers using the `wal_delta` method for faster node recovery and native support for `uint8` embeddings, offering memory savings and sea. Qdrant Cloud now offers a Cloud API for simplified management via API-driven control and Terraform support. It also introduces granular Database API Keys with TTL expiration policies and payload-based filters for fine-grained access control to data within clusters, collections, or even at the vector level, with read-only or read/write permissions. Single Sign-On (SSO) is now available for Premium Tier customers, integrating with Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, SAML, and PingFederate for simplified authentication and MFA enforcement. Advanced monitoring and observability features are enhanced with Prometheus/OpenMetrics support, enabling real-time performance insights directly in the Qdrant Cloud Console and integration with third-party tools like Datadog and Grafana for deeper analytics and customizable alerts.

Qdrant 1.9.0 - Heighten Your Security With Role-Based Access Control Support - Qdrant

4/24/2024

This post introduces granular access control using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), allowing users to define permissions and restrict access to specific data segments and endpoints. It also details the `wal_delta` method for faster shard transfers during node recovery, which leverages Write-Ahead Logs (WAL) to transmit only differential data. Additionally, native support for `uint8` embeddings is added, enabling 4x memory savings and ~30% search speed-up by using pre-quantized embeddings.
