# Which Qdrant Deployment Do I Need?
Start with what you need: managed ops or full control? Network latency acceptable or not? Production or prototyping? The answer narrows to one of four options.
## Getting Started or Prototyping
Use when: building a prototype, running tests, CI/CD pipelines, or learning Qdrant.
- Use local mode (Python only): zero-dependency, in-memory or disk-persisted, no server needed [Local mode](https://search.qdrant.tech/md/documentation/quickstart/)
- Local mode data format is NOT compatible with server. Do not use for production or benchmarking.
- For a real server locally, use Docker [Quick start](https://search.qdrant.tech/md/documentation/quickstart/?s=download-and-run)
