We have a long history with MongoDB. Many years ago, when I was still writing code myself, NoSQL was a novel concept. I was sold on its simplicity and natural compatibility with the Node stack. I used Mongo for all my side projects. For work, we still preferred SQL DBs, though. Fast forward to the early days of Qdrant, MongoDB Ventures reached out, and we had several conversations; they considered investing in our seed round. Their product managers and engineers were reaching out and praising our solution. At some point, they revealed that they are going to add vectors to their Atlas search product just by using Lucene. So what, who cares? At Qdrant, we’re not retrofitting anything. We’re building a dedicated vector search engine - from the ground up. If someone wants to replicate what we do? Go ahead, we are #opensource. But here’s where it gets frustrating. We have put in the hard work building our community and attracting prominent people in the AI landscape to use our product and create content about it. We have built our Qdrant Stars program to engage with the community even closely. qdrant.tech/stars So, what does it have to do with Mongo? Well, they just made a clever shortcut and reached out to our Qdrant Stars program members and influencers from our community, making them an offer they could not decline. I do not blame the content creators, it is their daily work and it is an excellent opportunity for them, guys, I can totally understand you, no worries. But let's call it what it is: A multi-billion-dollar company is now trying to buy its way into a community built by an early-stage startup, not them. We don’t fear competition. But when the incumbents start copying your strategy and poaching your community, it says one thing loud and clear: We’re making the right people nervous. We’ll never outspend Mongo, and we don’t need to. We have something they can’t copy or buy: a fast-growing, mission-driven, technically superior open platform - and a community that sees through the noise. So to the engineers, researchers, and creators who believe in open innovation, performance that doesn’t compromise, and communities that are earned, not acquired: you know where to find us. And to the MongoDB marketing geniuses: take on Elastic, take on Redis, take on Oracle, and others of your calibre, but leave Qdrant and other startups like us alone. | 61 comments on LinkedIn

My new job

I am happy to announce that I have joined a new startup called VectorWare. The linked website is currently very bare-boned, but the company aims to use Rust to improve the state of GPU programming.
