I think one of the big advantages of qdrant is how easy it is to do a poc because it allows you to have an “in-memory” version of the database similar to sqlite. One of the big competitors, Milvus, comes with a fairly intricate docker-compose you have to spin up to try it.

Well sqlite now has a vector extension so it's super convenient for testing. Between that and fts5 sqlite can stand in for any advanced search service as far as poc are concerned.
Only for python!
I mean you’re storing vector embeddings, the chances those come from some torch model are reasonably high.
