Poliscope shared a Qdrant engineering case study: 4,800 German local council portals and 130M data points indexed on a single self-hosted Qdrant node for unified search.
Key optimizations and results:
- Hybrid search + tenant filters + TurboQuant quantization
- Average query latency dropped from up to 20s to 0.87s
- A single self-hosted server handles nation-scale civic text search
Published on Qdrant's official blog (Vector Space Stream), this is a vendor case study with real technical detail.
