This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support.
Qdrant is an open-source, high-performance vector database for AI and semantic search - used in RAG pipelines, recommendation systems, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and any workload requiring similarity search over embeddings. This Lynxroute build is security baked in: unique API key at first boot, UFW firewall pre-configured, and CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
Web UI included. fastembed pre-installed for local embedding without external API calls.
Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

WHAT IS QDRANT
Qdrant is a high-performance vector similarity search engine and database written in Rust - it stores embedding vectors with structured payloads, then serves approximate-nearest-neighbour (ANN) queries with optional payload filtering, hybrid sparse + dense search, multivector indexes and quantization. The server exposes REST and gRPC APIs and ships with a built-in web UI for collection browsing, point inspection and query playground. Operators get HNSW indexing, on-disk vector storage with configurable RAM caching, snapshots for backup, and a managed embedding pipeline through fastembed. Integrates natively with LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack and any OpenAI-compatible client. Apache-2.0 license - lock-in-free alternative to Pinecone, Weaviate and other proprietary vector services, with full Rust source for every component.

Qdrant - Hardened Vector Database for AI on Ubuntu 24.04
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose. All five options run the same hardened vector database image, so pricing changes only with compute capacity. The t3.medium and t3.large run on burstable instances suited to lighter or variable workloads. The m6i.large, m6i.xlarge, and m6i.2xlarge run on general-purpose instances with steadier compute, scaling up in size. Larger instances carry a higher hourly rate. You stop paying when you terminate the instance. AWS handles all billing through the marketplace.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do the different instance options give me beyond the hardened database image?
Each option runs the same hardened vector database on Ubuntu 24.04. The instance name sets your compute capacity. The t3.medium and t3.large use burstable CPU for lighter or variable work. The m6i.large, m6i.xlarge, and m6i.2xlarge give steadier compute, scaling up in size.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped?
The software is metered by the hour while the instance runs. When you terminate the instance, hourly software charges stop. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees from Amazon, but the hourly software rate meters running time only.
Do updates and support cost extra on top of the hourly rate?
No separate charge is listed. Each image ships with a bundled SBOM and CIS Conformance Report. Lynxroute publishes rebuilds on a monthly cadence as new marketplace versions and provides support with a 24-hour response target. You apply updates by migrating to a newer release yourself.
