This plugin allows services to connect to a Qdrant database. Qdrant is a vector database & vector similarity search engine. You can get started in seconds by cloning our Axum + Qdrant example with 
shuttle init --from shuttle-hq/shuttle-examples --subfolder axum/qdrant

​
Usage

IMPORTANT: Currently Shuttle isn’t able to provision a Qdrant Cloud cluster for you (yet). This means you will have to create an account on their website and follow the few steps required to create a cluster and an API key to access it.
Add shuttle-qdrant and qdrant-client to the dependencies for your service by running cargo add shuttle-qdrant qdrant-client@1.7.0. This resource will be provided by adding the shuttle_qdrant::Qdrant attribute to your Shuttle main function. It returns a qdrant_client::QdrantClient. When running locally it will by default spin up a Qdrant Docker container for your project. If you want to connect to a remote database when running locally, you can specify the local_url parameter.

​
Parameters

ParameterTypeRequired?Description
cloud_url&strIn deploymentURL of the database to connect to. NOTE: It should use the gRPC port.
api_key&strNoRequired if the database requires an API key.
local_url&strNoIf specified, connect to this URL on local runs instead of using a Docker container.
Make sure the cloud_url parameter is specifying the gRPC port of the database. This is typically done by adding :6334 at the end.
You can use secrets interpolation to set the URL and API key. See below for an example.

​
Example

In the case of an Axum server, your main function can look like this: 
use qdrant_client::prelude::*;

#[shuttle_runtime::main]
async fn axum(
    #[shuttle_qdrant::Qdrant(cloud_url = "{secrets.CLOUD_URL}", api_key = "{secrets.API_KEY}")]
    qdrant: QdrantClient,
) -> shuttle_axum::ShuttleAxum {
    // set up state and router...
}
