## When it is useful

Build on Qdrant Edge, the embedded in-process shard (Python or Rust). Beta API drifts. No one-call .sync() to Cloud. Not sqlite-vec. Distinct from qdrant-deployment-options.

## The Catch

In-process shard. Beta API drifts. No one-call .sync(). Not sqlite-vec. Distinct from deployment-options. Cloud Free unused clusters still suspend after 1 week.
