Hybrid Retrieval v2: Qwen Embeddings, BM25, and RRF with a FastEmbed Reranker
Dense vectors miss exact identifiers. Here's the hybrid Qdrant setup I run: Qwen3 embeddings, BM25 sparse vectors, RRF fusion, and a CPU FastEmbed reranker.

Backing Up Qdrant Snapshots Correctly: From emptyDir to NFS Persistent Backups
Qdrant snapshots on emptyDir vanish on restart, and snapshots on the data PVC die with the disk. Here's the NFS-backed pattern that survives both.
Your Vector DB Snapshots Are Landing on the Same Disk That Will Fail
Qdrant snapshots default to the same volume as your data. One disk failure takes both, and even a surviving snapshot can fail restore with a 400 error.
