# Understanding memory usage

For when RAM keeps climbing and nodes start falling over

## What this does

Qdrant is using more memory than you expected, or a node has run out and crashed. This helps you find where the memory is going and reduce it. Reach for it when RAM keeps growing, when you suspect a leak, or when the numbers you calculated do not match what you actually see.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Find out why memory usage is so high
- Bring RAM down on a node that keeps crashing
- Work out why memory does not match what I calculated

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Understanding memory usage

This diagnoses and reduces Qdrant memory usage. It is for the situations that show up as memory being too high, RAM that keeps growing, a node that crashed, an out-of-memory error, or a suspected leak.

It also covers the harder cases: memory that does not match your calculations, quantization that did not bring usage down, and nodes crashing during recovery.

## Questions

### Is Understanding memory usage safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Understanding memory usage and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 90921cc46f4e, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/qdrant-memory-usage-optimization.

### How do I install Understanding memory usage?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/qdrant-memory-usage-optimization on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/90921cc46f4e452ea379e70884d60ec25263f16a/skills/qdrant-performance-optimization/memory-usage-optimization. Install from that link, not the branch.
