EDRSR — the Unified State Register of Court Decisions — is effectively all of Ukraine's judicial practice in open access. Today Qdrant holds **44M+ vectors : criminal (19M), civil (14.3M), commercial (5.1M), misdemeanors (5.6M). Vectorization of civil cases (CPC, justice_kind=1) — the largest cohort at 33.7M documents — runs on a dedicated EC2 instance (r6a.xlarge, 32 GB RAM, 2 TB gp3). Here's what's under the hood: models, pipeline, cost, rakes, and current status. Why Vectorize Courts When a lawyer searches "is there case law on recovering bank prepayment fees" — they don't want to open 40 decisions and read them through. They want the system to surface the top 5 most relevant ones, pull out key paragraphs, and show how courts reasoned. Full-text search (FTS) over keywords doesn't give that — it returns every document containing the word "fee", and there are thousands. For this semantic task you need vector representations of text. The model turns a paragraph from a decision into a point in a 1024-dimensional space; semantically similar paragraphs sit near each other. A kNN search in Qdrant returns the top K nearest, and an LLM composes the answer from exactly those relevant fragments. The only problem: the register is big. Very big. Scale Our prod database holds full texts of decisions starting from 2006. Breakdown by procedural type: Civil (CPC) — 33.7M documents. The largest category. Consumer, housing, labor, family. Criminal (CrPC) — 12M+ Administrative (CAS) — 14M+ Commercial (CC) — 6M+ Misdemeanors (CUaP) — 6M+ The Qdrant collection edrsr_decisions on a dedicated EC2 currently holds 44M+ vectors (122 segments, on_disk=true): | Proceeding type | justice_kind | Vectors | |—|—|—| | Criminal (CrPC) | 2 | 19,036,347 | | Civil (CPC) | 1 | 14,328,427 | | Misdemeanors (CUaP) | 5 | 5,579,432 | | Commercial (CC) | 3 | 5,098,662 | | Total | | 44,042,868 | Civil cases processed: 14.3M out of 33.7M — that's 42%. After CPC completes there will be roughly 63M+ vectors in
