Qdrant Tenant Scaling Agent Skill

Guides Qdrant multi-tenant scaling. Use when someone asks 'how to scale tenants', 'one collection per tenant?', 'tenant isolation', 'dedicated shards', or reports tenant performance issues. Also use when multi-tenant workloads outgrow shared infrastructure.

What to Do When Scaling Multi-Tenant Qdrant

Do not create one collection per tenant. Does not scale past a few hundred and wastes resources. One company hit the 1000 collection limit after a year of collection-per-repo and had to migrate to payload partitioning. Use a shared collection with a tenant key.

Understand multitenancy patterns Multitenancy

Here is a short summary of the patterns:

Number of Tenants is around 10k

Use the default multitenancy strategy via payload filtering.

Read about Partition by payload and Calibrate performance for best practices on indexing and query performance.

Number of Tenants is around 100k and more

At this scale, the cluster may consist of several peers.

To localize tenant data and improve performance, use custom sharding to assign tenants to specific shards based on tenant ID hash.

This will localize tenant requests to specific nodes instead of broadcasting them to all nodes, improving performance and reducing load on each node.

If tenants are unevenly sized

If some tenants are much larger than others, use tiered multitenancy to promote large tenants to dedicated shards while keeping small tenants on shared shards. This optimizes resource allocation and performance for tenants of varying sizes.

Need Strict Tenant Isolation

Use when: legal/compliance requirements demand per-tenant encryption or strict isolation beyond what payload filtering provides.

Multiple collections may be necessary for per-tenant encryption keys
Limit collection count and use payload filtering within each collection
This is the exception, not the default. Only use when compliance requires it.

What NOT to Do

Do not create one collection per tenant without compliance justification (does not scale past hundreds)
Do not skip is_tenant=true on the tenant index (kills sequential read performance)
Do not build global HNSW for multi-tenant collections (wasteful, use payload_m instead)

Azure Kubernetes Automatic Readiness

by microsoft

vendor ×3

Assess Kubernetes workloads and cluster configuration for AKS Automatic compatibility. Identifies incompatibilities, generates fixes, and guides migration from AKS Standard to AKS Automatic. WHEN: migrate to AKS Automatic, check AKS Automatic readiness, validate manifests for Automatic, assess cluster for Automatic compatibility, fix deployment for Automatic compatibility, identify AKS Automatic migration blockers, is my cluster ready for AKS Automatic.

Discovers available Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions and projects. Analyzes quota limits, compares availability, and recommends optimal deployment locations based on capacity requirements. USE FOR: find capacity, check quota, where can I deploy, capacity discovery, best region for capacity, multi-project capacity search, quota analysis, model availability, region comparison, check TPM availability. DO NOT USE FOR: actual deployment (hand off to preset or customize after discovery), quota increase requests (direct user to Azure Portal), listing existing deployments.

Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Step-by-step selection of model version, SKU (GlobalStandard/Standard/ProvisionedManaged), capacity, RAI policy (content filter), and advanced options (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover). USE FOR: custom deployment, customize model deployment, choose version, select SKU, set capacity, configure content filter, RAI policy, deployment options, detailed deployment, advanced deployment, PTU deployment, provisioned throughput. DO NOT USE FOR: quick deployment to optimal region (use preset).

Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI policy), and capacity discovery across regions and projects. USE FOR: deploy model, deploy gpt, create deployment, model deployment, deploy openai model, set up model, provision model, find capacity, check model availability, where can I deploy, best region for model, capacity analysis. DO NOT USE FOR: listing existing deployments (use foundry_models_deployments_list MCP tool), deleting deployments, agent creation (use agent/create), project creation (use project/create).

Intelligently deploys Azure OpenAI models to optimal regions by analyzing capacity across all available regions. Automatically checks current region first and shows alternatives if needed. USE FOR: quick deployment, optimal region, best region, automatic region selection, fast setup, multi-region capacity check, high availability deployment, deploy to best location. DO NOT USE FOR: custom SKU selection (use customize), specific version selection (use customize), custom capacity configuration (use customize), PTU deployments (use customize).

This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.

Latch platform for bioinformatics workflows. Build pipelines with Latch SDK, @workflow/@task decorators, deploy serverless workflows, LatchFile/LatchDir, Nextflow/Snakemake integration.

Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.
