docs(8.0): Phase F — deep clean across 21 docs
Aligned every public doc to the 8.0 contract: filesystem + memory adapters
only, vector index provider terminology (config.vector with recall +
quantization + persistMode knobs), no cloud storage adapters, no closed-
source product names.
Tier 1 — heavier rewrites:
- docs/architecture/storage-architecture.md
- docs/architecture/data-storage-architecture.md
- docs/architecture/distributed-storage.md DELETED — content was 100%
cloud-coordination examples with no 8.0 substance.
- docs/guides/distributed-system.md DELETED — same reason; no inbound refs.
- docs/SCALING.md rewritten for single-node guidance.
- docs/PLUGINS.md, docs/augmentations/{COMPLETE-REFERENCE,README}.md:
HnswProvider→VectorIndexProvider, hnsw→vector key.
- docs/PERFORMANCE.md, docs/BATCHING.md cloud-detection + sharding
sections replaced with single-node vector tuning + filesystem framing.
Tier 2 — surgical renames + cloud-section deletions:
- architecture/{index,initialization-and-rebuild,overview}.md
- transactions.md, DEVELOPER_LEARNING_PATH.md
- vfs/{VFS_API_GUIDE,COMMON_PATTERNS}.md
- api/README.md, guides/{inspection,import-flow}.md
Tier 3 — light edits:
- docs/README.md, architecture/augmentation-system-audit.md
MIGRATION-V3-TO-V4.md untouched (internal migration doc, no stale terms).

## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy introduces comprehensive batch operations at the storage layer, eliminating N+1 query patterns and dramatically improving performance for VFS operations, relationship queries, and entity retrieval on cloud storage.
|
||||
Brainy provides batch operations at the storage layer to eliminate N+1 query patterns for VFS operations, relationship queries, and entity retrieval.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem Solved
|
||||
|
||||
**Before optimization:**
|
||||
- VFS `getTreeStructure()` on cloud storage: **12.7 seconds** for directory with 12 files
|
||||
- N+1 query pattern: 1 directory query + N individual file queries (22 sequential calls × 580ms latency)
|
||||
The naive pattern of looping and calling `brain.get(id)` once per item issues sequential reads through the storage layer. Batched APIs collapse that into a single read pass.
|
||||
|
||||
**After optimization:**
|
||||
- VFS `getTreeStructure()`: **<1 second** for 12 files (90%+ improvement)
|
||||
- 2-3 batched calls instead of 22 sequential calls
|
||||
- Native cloud storage batch APIs for maximum throughput
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT:** The batch optimizations apply **ONLY to `getTreeStructure()`**, not to `readFile()` or individual `get()` operations. See changes for comprehensive storage path optimizations.
|
||||
**IMPORTANT:** The batch optimizations apply **ONLY to `getTreeStructure()`** at the VFS layer and the explicit `batchGet()` / `getNounMetadataBatch()` calls — not to `readFile()` or individual `get()` operations.

### Automatic Fallback
|
||||
### Parallel Reads
|

If an adapter doesn't implement `readBatch()`, the system automatically falls back to parallel individual reads:
|
||||
Both shipped adapters fall back to `Promise.all` over individual reads:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// BaseStorage.readBatchFromAdapter()
|
||||
if (typeof selfWithBatch.readBatch === 'function') {
|

// Use native batch API

### Automatic Self-Tuning (Current & Planned)
|
||||
### Automatic Self-Tuning
|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Currently Implemented:**
|
||||
- **Metadata Index**: Auto-builds sorted indices for range queries on first use
|
||||
- **Graph Index**: Auto-flushes every 30 seconds
|
||||
- **Default Tuning**: Research-based defaults (M=16, ef=200)
|
||||
- **Default Tuning**: Research-based vector index defaults
|
||||
- **Lazy Loading**: Indices built only when needed
|
||||
- **Cache Management**: LRU caches with TTL
|
||||
|
||||
**🚧 Planned Enhancements:**
|
||||
- **Dynamic Storage Selection**: Auto-switch between memory/disk based on size
|
||||
- **Adaptive Index Parameters**: Adjust M and ef based on query patterns
|
||||
- **Smart Cache Sizing**: Scale caches based on available memory
|
||||
- **Predictive Optimization**: Learn from usage patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Intelligent Defaults
|
||||
|
||||
All defaults are research-based and production-tested:
|
||||
- **HNSW M=16**: Optimal balance of recall/speed for most datasets
|
||||
- **efConstruction=200**: High quality graph construction
|
||||
- **Cache TTL=5min**: Balances freshness with performance
|
||||
- **Flush Interval=30s**: Non-blocking background persistence
|
||||
- **Vector recall** = `'balanced'` (M=16, ef=200): right for most datasets
|
||||
- **Cache TTL** = 5 min: balances freshness and performance
|
||||
- **Flush interval** = 30 s: non-blocking background persistence
|
||||
|
||||
### Progressive Enhancement
|
||||
### Vector Index Tuning Knobs
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy learns and improves over time:
|
||||
1. **Query Pattern Learning**: Frequently used patterns get cached
|
||||
2. **Index Optimization**: Auto-rebuilds indices when fragmented
|
||||
3. **Memory Management**: Coordinates caches across all components
|
||||
4. **Predictive Loading**: Pre-warms caches for common queries
|
||||
|
||||
### Massive Scale Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
For enterprise and massive scale deployments, Brainy's architecture scales to billions of items with implemented S3 storage and distributed sharding.
|
||||
|
||||
**Currently Implemented:**
|
||||
- Memory storage (production-ready)
|
||||
- Disk storage (production-ready)
|
||||
- S3-compatible storage (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, MinIO, Backblaze B2)
|
||||
- Distributed sharding with ConsistentHashRing
|
||||
- Single-node deployment (scales to ~1M items)
|
||||
- Multi-node deployment with sharding (scales to billions)
|
||||
|
||||
**Available Today:**
|
||||
Brainy 8.0 exposes exactly three knobs on `config.vector`:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// S3-compatible storage for unlimited scale - WORKS NOW
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 's3',
|
||||
bucketName: 'my-brainy-data',
|
||||
region: 'us-east-1',
|
||||
credentials: {
|
||||
accessKeyId: 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY',
|
||||
secretAccessKey: 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Works with: AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Cloudflare R2 storage - WORKS NOW
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'r2',
|
||||
bucketName: 'my-brainy-data',
|
||||
accountId: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID',
|
||||
accessKeyId: 'YOUR_R2_ACCESS_KEY',
|
||||
secretAccessKey: 'YOUR_R2_SECRET_KEY'
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Google Cloud Storage - WORKS NOW
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'gcs',
|
||||
bucketName: 'my-brainy-data',
|
||||
region: 'us-central1',
|
||||
credentials: {
|
||||
accessKeyId: 'YOUR_ACCESS_KEY',
|
||||
secretAccessKey: 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'
|
||||
}
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
vector: {
|
||||
recall: 'fast', // 'fast' | 'balanced' | 'accurate'
|
||||
quantization: { bits: 8 }, // 4 | 8 (SQ4 / SQ8)
|
||||
persistMode: 'deferred' // 'immediate' | 'deferred'
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The default JS index is `JsHnswVectorIndex`. An optional native acceleration package (`@soulcraft/cortex`) can replace it with a higher-performing implementation; the public knobs stay the same.

||||

|
||||
| **Massive** | 10M+ | Filesystem + native vector provider + service-layer sharding | 5-20ms |
|
||||
|
||||
### S3-Compatible Storage Benefits
|
||||
For >10M entities, run multiple Brainy processes behind your own routing layer — Brainy 8.0 doesn't ship cluster coordination.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Unlimited Scale**: No practical limit on dataset size
|
||||
- **Cost Effective**: $0.023/GB/month for standard storage
|
||||
- **Durability**: 99.999999999% (11 9's) durability
|
||||
- **Global**: Multi-region replication available
|
||||
- **Compatible**: Works with any S3-compatible API (MinIO, R2, B2)

**Distributed Sharding (Implemented):**
|
||||
- ConsistentHashRing with 150 virtual nodes
|
||||
- 64 shards by default
|
||||
- Replication factor of 3
|
||||
- Automatic rebalancing on node addition/removal
|
||||
|
||||
### Auto-Sharding for Horizontal Scale (Implemented)
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy includes a complete sharding implementation with ConsistentHashRing:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
import { ShardManager } from '@soulcraft/brainy/distributed'
|
||||
|
||||
// Create shard manager with custom configuration
|
||||
const shardManager = new ShardManager({
|
||||
shardCount: 64, // Default: 64 shards
|
||||
replicationFactor: 3, // Default: 3 replicas
|
||||
virtualNodes: 150, // Default: 150 virtual nodes
|
||||
autoRebalance: true // Default: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Add nodes to the cluster
|
||||
shardManager.addNode('node-1')
|
||||
shardManager.addNode('node-2')
|
||||
shardManager.addNode('node-3')
|
||||
|
||||
// Sharding automatically:
|
||||
// - Uses consistent hashing for even distribution
|
||||
// - Maintains replicas for fault tolerance
|
||||
// - Rebalances on node changes
|
||||
// - Provides O(1) shard lookups
|
||||
```
|
||||
For off-site replication, snapshot `rootDirectory` from your scheduler (`gsutil rsync`, `aws s3 sync`, `rclone`, or `tar`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance at Scale
|
||||
|
||||
Even at massive scale, Brainy maintains excellent performance:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Metadata queries**: Still O(1) with distributed hash tables
|
||||
- **Graph traversal**: O(1) with edge locality optimization
|
||||
- **Vector search**: O(log n) with hierarchical sharding
|
||||
- **Write throughput**: 100K+ writes/second with S3 batching
|
||||
- **Metadata queries**: O(1) HashMap
|
||||
- **Graph traversal**: O(1) adjacency lookup
|
||||
- **Vector search**: O(log n)
|
||||
- **Write throughput**: 50K+ writes/second per process (filesystem, batched)
|
||||
- **Read throughput**: 1M+ reads/second with caching
|
||||
|
||||
### Zero-Config with Autoscaling (Implemented)
|
||||
### Zero-Config with Autoscaling
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**✅ Implemented Autoscaling:**
|
||||
- **AutoConfiguration System**: Detects environment and adjusts settings
|
||||
- **Learning from Performance**: `learnFromPerformance()` adapts based on metrics
|
||||
- **Auto-flush**: Graph index (30s), Metadata index (configurable)
|
||||
- **Auto-optimize**: Enabled by default in Graph and HNSW indices
|
||||
- **Auto-rebalance**: Shards automatically rebalance on node changes
|
||||
- **Auto-optimize**: Enabled by default in graph and vector indices
|
||||
- **Zero-config presets**: Production, development, minimal modes
|
||||
- **Adaptive memory**: Scales caches based on available memory
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Single Node (Default)
|
||||
### In-Memory
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import Brainy from '@soulcraft/brainy'
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy() // That's it!
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: { type: 'memory' } })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Multi-Node (Auto-Discovery)
|
||||
### On-Disk (Default for Node)
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Node 1
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy() // Starts as primary
|
||||
|
||||
// Node 2 (different server)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy() // Auto-discovers Node 1, becomes replica!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**That's literally all you need!** Brainy handles everything else automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎯 The Magic: Zero Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy uses **intelligent defaults** and **auto-discovery** to eliminate configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **First node starts** → Becomes primary automatically
|
||||
2. **Second node starts** → Discovers first node via UDP broadcast
|
||||
3. **Nodes negotiate** → Elect leader, distribute shards
|
||||
4. **Data flows** → Automatic replication and routing
|
||||
5. **Node fails** → Automatic failover in <1 second
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔄 Automatic Node Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Three ways Brainy finds other nodes (auto-selected):
|
||||
|
||||
// 1. LOCAL NETWORK (Default)
|
||||
// Uses UDP broadcast on port 7946
|
||||
// Perfect for: On-premise, same VPC
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. CLOUD NATIVE (Auto-detected)
|
||||
// Kubernetes: Uses k8s DNS service discovery
|
||||
// AWS: Uses EC2 tags or Route53
|
||||
// Azure: Uses Azure DNS
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. EXPLICIT (When needed)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
peers: ['node1.example.com', 'node2.example.com']
|
||||
storage: { type: 'filesystem', rootDirectory: './brainy-data' }
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 📊 Data Distribution
|
||||
## How Brainy Scales
|
||||
|
||||
When you add data, Brainy automatically:
|
||||
Brainy 8.0 is a **single-node library**. There is no cluster, no peer discovery, no S3 coordination. Scaling means:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
brain.add({ name: "John" }, 'person')
|
||||
- **Up**: give the process more RAM, CPU, and IOPS
|
||||
- **Out**: stand up multiple independent Brainy instances behind your own service layer
|
||||
- **Cold storage**: snapshot the on-disk artifact off-site so you can rehydrate elsewhere
|
||||
|
||||
// Behind the scenes:
|
||||
// 1. Hash ID to determine shard (consistent hashing)
|
||||
// 2. Find nodes responsible for this shard
|
||||
// 3. Write to primary shard owner
|
||||
// 4. Replicate to N backup nodes (default: 2)
|
||||
// 5. Confirm write when majority acknowledge
|
||||
```
|
||||
The three knobs that matter most:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`config.vector.recall`** — `'fast'`, `'balanced'`, or `'accurate'` (default `'balanced'`)
|
||||
2. **`config.vector.quantization`** — `{ bits: 4 | 8 }` for memory savings on the open-core JS vector index
|
||||
3. **`config.vector.persistMode`** — `'immediate'` for durability, `'deferred'` for throughput
|
||||
|
||||
The native vector provider (via the optional `@soulcraft/cortex` package) extends this with a higher-performing index when installed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Configurations
|
||||
|
||||
### 🗂️ Storage Adapter Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy intelligently adapts to your storage setup:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pattern 1: Separate Storage Per Node (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
### Filesystem (Recommended for Production)
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Node 1 - Own filesystem
|
||||
const brain1 = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: '/data/node1' // or auto: './brainy-data'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Node 2 - Own filesystem
|
||||
const brain2 = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: '/data/node2' // or auto: './brainy-data'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ BENEFITS:
|
||||
// - No conflicts between nodes
|
||||
// - Fast local reads
|
||||
// - True horizontal scaling
|
||||
// - Survives network partitions
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pattern 2: Separate S3 Buckets Per Node
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Node 1 - Own S3 bucket
|
||||
const brain1 = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3://brainy-node-1' // Auto-uses AWS credentials
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Node 2 - Own S3 bucket
|
||||
const brain2 = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3://brainy-node-2'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ BENEFITS:
|
||||
// - Infinite storage capacity
|
||||
// - Geographic distribution
|
||||
// - No local disk needed
|
||||
// - Built-in durability
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pattern 3: Shared S3 Bucket (Coordinated)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// All nodes - Shared bucket with coordination
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3://shared-brainy-data',
|
||||
// Brainy automatically adds node-specific prefixes!
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// What happens automatically:
|
||||
// - Node 1 writes to: s3://shared-brainy-data/node-1/
|
||||
// - Node 2 writes to: s3://shared-brainy-data/node-2/
|
||||
// - Metadata in: s3://shared-brainy-data/_cluster/
|
||||
// - Coordination via S3 conditional writes
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ BENEFITS:
|
||||
// - Single bucket to manage
|
||||
// - Easy backup/restore
|
||||
// - Cost effective
|
||||
// - Automatic namespace isolation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Pattern 4: Mixed Storage (Hybrid)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Hot data on local SSD, cold data in S3
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
hot: '/fast-ssd/brainy', // Recent/frequent data
|
||||
cold: 's3://brainy-archive' // Older data
|
||||
type: 'filesystem',
|
||||
rootDirectory: '/var/lib/brainy'
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Brainy automatically promotes/demotes data!
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Stores everything in a sharded JSON tree under `rootDirectory`
|
||||
- Atomic writes via rename
|
||||
- Survives process restarts
|
||||
- Snapshot it off-site with `gsutil rsync`, `aws s3 sync`, `rclone`, or `tar` from your scheduler
|
||||
|
||||
### 🌍 Cloud Provider Auto-Detection
|
||||
### Memory
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: { type: 'memory' } })
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Zero I/O, fastest possible
|
||||
- No persistence — process exit discards everything
|
||||
- Use for tests and ephemeral caches
|
||||
|
||||
### Auto
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 'cloud://brainy-data' // Auto-detects provider!
|
||||
storage: { type: 'auto', rootDirectory: './data' }
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatically uses:
|
||||
// - AWS: S3 + DynamoDB for metadata
|
||||
// - Google Cloud: GCS + Firestore
|
||||
// - Azure: Blob Storage + Cosmos DB
|
||||
// - Cloudflare: R2 + D1
|
||||
// - Vercel: Blob + KV
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 📝 Storage Coordination Rules
|
||||
|
||||
When multiple nodes share storage, Brainy automatically:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Namespace Isolation**: Each node gets unique prefix
|
||||
2. **Lock-Free Writes**: Uses atomic operations
|
||||
3. **Consistent Metadata**: Coordinated via consensus
|
||||
4. **Conflict Resolution**: Version vectors for conflicts
|
||||
5. **Garbage Collection**: Automatic cleanup of old data
|
||||
- Picks `filesystem` when running on Node with a writable `rootDirectory`
|
||||
- Falls back to `memory` otherwise
|
||||
|
||||
## Scaling Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 📈 Progressive Scaling Journey
|
||||
|
||||
#### Stage 1: Prototype (1 node, memory)
|
||||
### Stage 1: Prototype (Memory)
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy() // Memory storage, single node
|
||||
// Perfect for: Development, testing, <1000 items
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: { type: 'memory' } })
|
||||
// Development, tests, <100K items
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Stage 2: Production (1 node, disk)
|
||||
### Stage 2: Production (Filesystem)
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: './data' // Persistent storage
|
||||
storage: { type: 'filesystem', rootDirectory: '/var/lib/brainy' }
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Perfect for: Small apps, <100K items
|
||||
// Most production workloads up to ~10M entities on a single host
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Stage 3: High Availability (2-3 nodes)
|
||||
### Stage 3: Higher Throughput (Tune the Vector Index)
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Just start same code on multiple servers!
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: './data' // Each node's own storage
|
||||
storage: { type: 'filesystem', rootDirectory: '/var/lib/brainy' },
|
||||
vector: {
|
||||
recall: 'fast', // Trade recall for latency
|
||||
quantization: { bits: 8 }, // SQ8 quantization
|
||||
persistMode: 'deferred' // Batch persistence
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Automatic: Leader election, replication, failover
|
||||
// Perfect for: Critical apps, <1M items
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Stage 4: Scale Out (N nodes)
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Same code, more servers!
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3://brainy-{{nodeId}}' // Template auto-filled
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Automatic: Sharding, load balancing, geo-distribution
|
||||
// Perfect for: Large apps, unlimited items
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎯 Common Scaling Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Read-Heavy Application
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Brainy auto-detects read-heavy pattern and:
|
||||
// 1. Increases cache size
|
||||
// 2. Creates more read replicas
|
||||
// 3. Routes reads to nearest node
|
||||
// 4. Caches popular items on all nodes
|
||||
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy() // No config needed!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Multi-Tenant SaaS
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Brainy auto-detects tenant patterns and:
|
||||
// 1. Shards by tenant ID
|
||||
// 2. Isolates tenant data
|
||||
// 3. Routes by tenant
|
||||
// 4. Separate rate limits per tenant
|
||||
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy() // Detects from your queries!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Geographic Distribution
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Deploy nodes in different regions
|
||||
// Brainy automatically:
|
||||
// 1. Detects node locations (via latency)
|
||||
// 2. Replicates data geographically
|
||||
// 3. Routes to nearest node
|
||||
// 4. Handles region failures
|
||||
|
||||
// US-East
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({ region: 'us-east' }) // Optional hint
|
||||
|
||||
// EU-West (auto-discovers US-East)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({ region: 'eu-west' })
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Stage 4: Multi-Instance (Operator-Layer)
|
||||
Run multiple Brainy processes behind your own routing/service layer. Each process owns its own `rootDirectory`. Sync each artifact off-site independently. Brainy itself does not coordinate between processes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Real World Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Blog Platform
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 1: Single-Node App With Backup
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Day 1: Single server
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: './blog-data'
|
||||
storage: { type: 'filesystem', rootDirectory: '/var/lib/brainy' }
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Month 6: Add redundancy (on second server)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: './blog-data' // Different machine!
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Automatically syncs with first server
|
||||
|
||||
// Year 2: Global scale
|
||||
// US Server
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3://blog-us/data'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// EU Server
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3://blog-eu/data'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Asia Server
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3://blog-asia/data'
|
||||
})
|
||||
// All automatically coordinate!
|
||||
```
|
||||
Schedule (cron / systemd timer):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
*/15 * * * * rclone sync /var/lib/brainy remote:brainy-backup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: E-Commerce Site
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 2: Tests
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Development
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy() // Memory storage
|
||||
|
||||
// Staging (Kubernetes)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: process.env.STORAGE_PATH // Uses PVC
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Auto-discovers other pods via K8s DNS
|
||||
|
||||
// Production (AWS)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3://shop-data',
|
||||
cache: 'elasticache://shop-cache' // Optional
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Auto-scales with ECS/EKS
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: { type: 'memory' } })
|
||||
// Fast, no cleanup needed between runs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 3: Analytics Platform
|
||||
|
||||
### Example 3: Multi-Tenant Service
|
||||
Spin up one Brainy instance per tenant, each in its own directory:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Ingestion nodes (write-optimized)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
role: 'writer', // Hint for optimization
|
||||
storage: '/fast-nvme/ingest'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Query nodes (read-optimized)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
role: 'reader', // More cache, indexes
|
||||
storage: 's3://analytics-archive'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatically coordinates between writers and readers!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Storage Adapter Specifics
|
||||
|
||||
### Local Filesystem
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
storage: './data' // or absolute: '/var/lib/brainy'
|
||||
// Each node MUST have separate directory
|
||||
// Can be network mounted (NFS, EFS)
|
||||
function brainForTenant(tenantId: string) {
|
||||
return new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'filesystem',
|
||||
rootDirectory: `/var/lib/brainy/${tenantId}`
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
Your service layer handles routing and isolation; Brainy stays simple.
|
||||
|
||||
### AWS S3
|
||||
### Example 4: Higher Recall at Scale
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
storage: 's3://bucket-name/prefix'
|
||||
// Uses AWS SDK credentials (env, IAM role, etc)
|
||||
// Supports S3-compatible (MinIO, Ceph)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Cloudflare R2
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
storage: 'r2://bucket-name'
|
||||
// Uses Wrangler or API tokens
|
||||
// Zero egress fees!
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Google Cloud Storage
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
storage: 'gs://bucket-name'
|
||||
// Uses Application Default Credentials
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Azure Blob Storage
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
storage: 'azure://container-name'
|
||||
// Uses DefaultAzureCredential
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mixed/Tiered
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
{
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
hot: './local-cache', // Fast SSD
|
||||
warm: 's3://regular-data', // Standard storage
|
||||
cold: 's3://glacier-archive' // Cheap archive
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: { type: 'filesystem', rootDirectory: '/var/lib/brainy' },
|
||||
vector: {
|
||||
recall: 'accurate',
|
||||
quantization: { bits: 8 }
|
||||
}
|
||||
// Automatic tiering based on access patterns
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎭 Advanced Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern: Blue-Green Deployment
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Blue cluster (current)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
cluster: 'blue',
|
||||
storage: 's3://prod-blue'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Green cluster (new version)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
cluster: 'green',
|
||||
storage: 's3://prod-green',
|
||||
syncFrom: 'blue' // Real-time sync during migration
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern: Federation
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Region 1 Cluster
|
||||
const brain1 = new Brainy({
|
||||
federation: 'global',
|
||||
region: 'us-east',
|
||||
storage: 's3://us-east-data'
|
||||
})
|
||||
## Tuning Knobs Summary
|
||||
|
||||
// Region 2 Cluster
|
||||
const brain2 = new Brainy({
|
||||
federation: 'global',
|
||||
region: 'eu-west',
|
||||
storage: 's3://eu-west-data'
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Clusters coordinate for global queries!
|
||||
```
|
||||
| Setting | Values | When to change |
|
||||
|---------|--------|----------------|
|
||||
| `vector.recall` | `'fast'` / `'balanced'` / `'accurate'` | Trade recall for latency |
|
||||
| `vector.quantization.bits` | `4` / `8` | Smaller index, lower memory |
|
||||
| `vector.persistMode` | `'immediate'` / `'deferred'` | Throughput vs. durability |
|
||||
| `storage.cache.maxSize` | integer | Hot-path read cache size |
|
||||
| `storage.cache.ttl` | ms | Cache freshness |
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern: Edge Computing
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Edge nodes (in CDN POPs)
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
mode: 'edge',
|
||||
storage: 'memory', // RAM only
|
||||
upstream: 'https://main-cluster.example.com'
|
||||
})
|
||||
// Caches frequently accessed data at edge
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 Monitoring & Observability
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy automatically exposes metrics:
|
||||
## Monitoring & Observability
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const metrics = brain.getMetrics()
|
||||
const stats = await brain.stats()
|
||||
// {
|
||||
// nodes: { total: 5, healthy: 5 },
|
||||
// shards: { total: 20, local: 4 },
|
||||
// replication: { factor: 2, lag: 45 },
|
||||
// operations: { reads: 10000, writes: 1000 },
|
||||
// storage: { used: '45GB', available: '955GB' }
|
||||
// nounCount: 50000,
|
||||
// verbCount: 80000,
|
||||
// vectorIndex: { ... },
|
||||
// storage: { used: '45GB' }
|
||||
// }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚨 Troubleshooting
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Nodes don't discover each other
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Solution 1: Check network allows UDP 7946
|
||||
// Solution 2: Use explicit peers
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
peers: ['10.0.0.1:7946', '10.0.0.2:7946']
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Issue: Slow queries
|
||||
1. Switch to `vector.recall: 'fast'`
|
||||
2. Enable SQ8 quantization
|
||||
3. Increase the read cache (`storage.cache.maxSize`)
|
||||
4. Consider the optional native vector provider via `@soulcraft/cortex`
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Storage conflicts
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Ensure each node has unique storage path
|
||||
// ❌ WRONG: All nodes use './data'
|
||||
// ✅ RIGHT: Node1: './data1', Node2: './data2'
|
||||
// ✅ RIGHT: Use {{nodeId}} template
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Issue: Memory pressure
|
||||
1. Enable `vector.quantization: { bits: 4 }` or `{ bits: 8 }`
|
||||
2. Reduce `storage.cache.maxSize`
|
||||
3. Move to `vector.persistMode: 'deferred'` to batch writes
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue: Slow performance
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Brainy auto-tunes, but you can hint:
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
profile: 'read-heavy' // or 'write-heavy', 'balanced'
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Issue: Slow startup after a crash
|
||||
1. Use `vector.persistMode: 'immediate'` so the index file stays in sync with storage
|
||||
2. Verify backup integrity periodically
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Best Practices
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Let Brainy Auto-Configure**: Don't over-configure
|
||||
2. **Separate Storage Per Node**: Avoids conflicts
|
||||
3. **Use S3 for Large Scale**: Infinite capacity
|
||||
4. **Start Simple**: Single node → Scale when needed
|
||||
5. **Monitor Metrics**: Watch for bottlenecks
|
||||
6. **Trust Auto-Scaling**: It learns your patterns
|
||||
1. **One process = one `rootDirectory`** — never share a directory between processes
|
||||
2. **Snapshot from your scheduler** — Brainy doesn't ship cloud SDKs; use `rclone` / `aws s3 sync` / `gsutil`
|
||||
3. **Profile before tuning** — `recall: 'balanced'` is right for most workloads
|
||||
4. **Install the native vector provider only when measured profiling shows it pays off**
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Summary
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
- **Zero Config**: Just `new Brainy()` at any scale
|
||||
- **Auto-Discovery**: Nodes find each other
|
||||
- **Smart Storage**: Adapts to any backend
|
||||
- **Progressive Scaling**: 1 → 100 nodes seamlessly
|
||||
- **Self-Tuning**: Learns and optimizes
|
||||
- **No DevOps**: It just works!
|
||||
|
||||
**This is Enterprise for Everyone - enterprise-grade scaling with toy-like simplicity!**

### 4.1 Why Shard?
|
||||
|
||||
**Cloud Storage Limitations**:
|
||||
- GCS/S3: Listing 100K files in one directory = 10-30 seconds
|
||||
- GCS/S3: Max recommended files per directory = 1,000-10,000
|
||||
- Network: Parallel operations faster than sequential
|
||||
**Filesystem Limitations**:
|
||||
- Listing 100K files in one directory is slow (`readdir` walks the whole entry list)
|
||||
- Most filesystems prefer ≤10,000 entries per directory for fast lookups
|
||||
- Parallel operations across shards beat serial scans
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Split into 256 shards = ~3,900 files per shard at 1M scale

### 8.2 Backend-Specific Optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
**Cloud Storage (GCS, S3, R2, Azure)**:
|
||||
- Lifecycle policies for automatic archival (96% cost savings)
|
||||
- Intelligent-Tiering (S3) or Autoclass (GCS) for access-pattern optimization
|
||||
- Batch operations (1000 objects per request for S3)
|
||||
- Parallel uploads/downloads
|
||||
### 8.2 Adapter Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
**Filesystem**:
|
||||
- Optional gzip compression (60-80% space savings)
|
||||
- Direct file I/O (fastest for local)
|
||||
- Atomic writes with rename
|
||||
|
||||
**OPFS**:
|
||||
- Quota monitoring (browser storage limits)
|
||||
- Persistent storage (survives page refresh)
|
||||
- Worker-based I/O (non-blocking)
|
||||
- Sharded directory layout keeps `readdir` fast
|
||||
|
||||
**Memory**:
|
||||
- No I/O overhead (instant access)

# 🏗️ Distributed Storage Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
> **Technical deep-dive**: How Brainy coordinates storage across multiple nodes and adapters
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Adapter Layer
|
||||
|
||||
### Base Storage Interface
|
||||
|
||||
Every storage adapter implements this interface:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
interface StorageAdapter {
|
||||
// Basic operations
|
||||
get(key: string): Promise<any>
|
||||
set(key: string, value: any): Promise<void>
|
||||
delete(key: string): Promise<void>
|
||||
|
||||
// Batch operations
|
||||
getBatch(keys: string[]): Promise<Map<string, any>>
|
||||
setBatch(items: Map<string, any>): Promise<void>
|
||||
|
||||
// Atomic operations (for coordination)
|
||||
compareAndSwap(key: string, oldVal: any, newVal: any): Promise<boolean>
|
||||
increment(key: string, delta: number): Promise<number>
|
||||
|
||||
// Namespace support
|
||||
withNamespace(namespace: string): StorageAdapter
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage Coordination Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
#### Strategy 1: Isolated Storage (Default)
|
||||
|
||||
Each node has completely separate storage:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Node-1 → Local FS: /data/node1/
|
||||
└── shards/
|
||||
├── shard-001/
|
||||
├── shard-045/
|
||||
└── shard-127/
|
||||
|
||||
Node-2 → Local FS: /data/node2/
|
||||
└── shards/
|
||||
├── shard-023/
|
||||
├── shard-067/
|
||||
└── shard-089/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Coordination**: Via network messages only
|
||||
- Shard ownership tracked in distributed consensus
|
||||
- Data transfer via direct node-to-node communication
|
||||
- No storage-level conflicts possible
|
||||
|
||||
#### Strategy 2: Shared Storage with Namespacing
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple nodes share storage but use namespaces:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
S3 Bucket: brainy-cluster/
|
||||
├── node-abc123/
|
||||
│ ├── shards/
|
||||
│ └── wal/
|
||||
├── node-def456/
|
||||
│ ├── shards/
|
||||
│ └── wal/
|
||||
└── _cluster/
|
||||
├── topology.json
|
||||
├── shard-map.json
|
||||
└── elections/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Coordination**: Via storage-level atomic operations
|
||||
- Each node owns its namespace
|
||||
- Cluster metadata in shared `_cluster/` namespace
|
||||
- Atomic operations for leader election
|
||||
- Conditional writes prevent conflicts
|
||||
|
||||
#### Strategy 3: Shared Storage with Fine-Grained Locking
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced mode for full shared storage:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
S3 Bucket: brainy-shared/
|
||||
├── shards/
|
||||
│ ├── 001/
|
||||
│ │ ├── data.bin
|
||||
│ │ └── .lock (atomic)
|
||||
│ ├── 002/
|
||||
│ │ ├── data.bin
|
||||
│ │ └── .lock
|
||||
└── metadata/
|
||||
├── index/
|
||||
└── locks/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Coordination**: Via distributed locking
|
||||
- Shard-level locks using atomic operations
|
||||
- Lock acquisition via compare-and-swap
|
||||
- Automatic lock expiry (lease-based)
|
||||
- Deadlock detection and recovery
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Adapter Implementations
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Filesystem Adapter
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class FilesystemAdapter implements StorageAdapter {
|
||||
constructor(private basePath: string) {}
|
||||
|
||||
async get(key: string) {
|
||||
const path = this.keyToPath(key)
|
||||
return fs.readFile(path, 'json')
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async compareAndSwap(key: string, oldVal: any, newVal: any) {
|
||||
// Use file locking for atomicity
|
||||
const lockfile = `${this.keyToPath(key)}.lock`
|
||||
await flock(lockfile, 'ex') // Exclusive lock
|
||||
try {
|
||||
const current = await this.get(key)
|
||||
if (deepEqual(current, oldVal)) {
|
||||
await this.set(key, newVal)
|
||||
return true
|
||||
}
|
||||
return false
|
||||
} finally {
|
||||
await funlock(lockfile)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
withNamespace(ns: string) {
|
||||
return new FilesystemAdapter(path.join(this.basePath, ns))
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. S3 Adapter
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class S3Adapter implements StorageAdapter {
|
||||
constructor(
|
||||
private bucket: string,
|
||||
private prefix: string = ''
|
||||
) {}
|
||||
|
||||
async get(key: string) {
|
||||
const result = await s3.getObject({
|
||||
Bucket: this.bucket,
|
||||
Key: `${this.prefix}${key}`
|
||||
})
|
||||
return JSON.parse(result.Body)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async compareAndSwap(key: string, oldVal: any, newVal: any) {
|
||||
// Use S3's conditional writes
|
||||
const fullKey = `${this.prefix}${key}`
|
||||
|
||||
// Get current version
|
||||
const head = await s3.headObject({
|
||||
Bucket: this.bucket,
|
||||
Key: fullKey
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Conditional put with ETag
|
||||
try {
|
||||
await s3.putObject({
|
||||
Bucket: this.bucket,
|
||||
Key: fullKey,
|
||||
Body: JSON.stringify(newVal),
|
||||
IfMatch: head.ETag // Only succeeds if unchanged
|
||||
})
|
||||
return true
|
||||
} catch (err) {
|
||||
if (err.code === 'PreconditionFailed') {
|
||||
return false
|
||||
}
|
||||
throw err
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
withNamespace(ns: string) {
|
||||
const newPrefix = `${this.prefix}${ns}/`
|
||||
return new S3Adapter(this.bucket, newPrefix)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Cloudflare R2 Adapter
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class R2Adapter implements StorageAdapter {
|
||||
// Similar to S3 but with R2-specific optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
async compareAndSwap(key: string, oldVal: any, newVal: any) {
|
||||
// R2 supports conditional headers
|
||||
const response = await fetch(`${this.endpoint}/${key}`, {
|
||||
method: 'PUT',
|
||||
body: JSON.stringify(newVal),
|
||||
headers: {
|
||||
'If-Match': await this.getETag(key)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
return response.ok
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// R2-specific: Use Workers for edge computing
|
||||
async getWithCache(key: string) {
|
||||
// Check Cloudflare edge cache first
|
||||
const cached = await caches.default.match(key)
|
||||
if (cached) return cached.json()
|
||||
|
||||
// Fallback to R2
|
||||
const value = await this.get(key)
|
||||
|
||||
// Cache at edge
|
||||
await caches.default.put(key, new Response(JSON.stringify(value)))
|
||||
|
||||
return value
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Distributed Coordination Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 1: Leader-Based Coordination
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class LeaderCoordinator {
|
||||
async acquireShardOwnership(shardId: string) {
|
||||
if (!this.isLeader()) {
|
||||
// Only leader assigns shards
|
||||
return this.requestFromLeader('acquireShard', shardId)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Leader logic
|
||||
const shardMap = await this.storage.get('_cluster/shard-map')
|
||||
if (!shardMap[shardId].owner) {
|
||||
shardMap[shardId].owner = this.nodeId
|
||||
|
||||
// Atomic update
|
||||
const success = await this.storage.compareAndSwap(
|
||||
'_cluster/shard-map',
|
||||
shardMap,
|
||||
{ ...shardMap, [shardId]: { owner: this.nodeId } }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if (success) {
|
||||
this.broadcast('shardAssigned', { shardId, owner: this.nodeId })
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 2: Consensus-Based Coordination
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class ConsensusCoordinator {
|
||||
async acquireShardOwnership(shardId: string) {
|
||||
// Propose to all nodes
|
||||
const proposal = {
|
||||
type: 'ACQUIRE_SHARD',
|
||||
shardId,
|
||||
nodeId: this.nodeId,
|
||||
term: this.currentTerm
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Raft consensus
|
||||
const votes = await this.gatherVotes(proposal)
|
||||
|
||||
if (votes.length > this.nodes.length / 2) {
|
||||
// Majority agreed
|
||||
await this.commitProposal(proposal)
|
||||
return true
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return false
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 3: Storage-Native Coordination
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class StorageNativeCoordinator {
|
||||
async acquireShardOwnership(shardId: string) {
|
||||
// Use storage adapter's native coordination
|
||||
const lockKey = `_locks/shard-${shardId}`
|
||||
const lease = {
|
||||
owner: this.nodeId,
|
||||
expires: Date.now() + 30000 // 30 second lease
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Try to acquire lock atomically
|
||||
const acquired = await this.storage.compareAndSwap(
|
||||
lockKey,
|
||||
null, // Must not exist
|
||||
lease
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if (acquired) {
|
||||
// Start lease renewal
|
||||
this.startLeaseRenewal(lockKey, lease)
|
||||
return true
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return false
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
private startLeaseRenewal(key: string, lease: any) {
|
||||
setInterval(async () => {
|
||||
const renewed = await this.storage.compareAndSwap(
|
||||
key,
|
||||
lease,
|
||||
{ ...lease, expires: Date.now() + 30000 }
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
if (!renewed) {
|
||||
// Lost lease
|
||||
this.handleLeaseLoss(key)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, 10000) // Renew every 10s
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-Storage Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Hybrid Storage (Hot/Cold)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class HybridStorageAdapter implements StorageAdapter {
|
||||
constructor(
|
||||
private hot: StorageAdapter, // Fast SSD
|
||||
private cold: StorageAdapter // Cheap S3
|
||||
) {}
|
||||
|
||||
async get(key: string) {
|
||||
// Try hot storage first
|
||||
const hotValue = await this.hot.get(key).catch(() => null)
|
||||
if (hotValue) {
|
||||
this.updateAccessTime(key)
|
||||
return hotValue
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Fallback to cold storage
|
||||
const coldValue = await this.cold.get(key)
|
||||
|
||||
// Promote to hot storage if frequently accessed
|
||||
if (this.shouldPromote(key)) {
|
||||
await this.hot.set(key, coldValue)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return coldValue
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async set(key: string, value: any) {
|
||||
// Write to hot storage
|
||||
await this.hot.set(key, value)
|
||||
|
||||
// Async write to cold storage
|
||||
setImmediate(() => {
|
||||
this.cold.set(key, value).catch(console.error)
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Background process to demote cold data
|
||||
async runTiering() {
|
||||
const hotKeys = await this.hot.listKeys()
|
||||
|
||||
for (const key of hotKeys) {
|
||||
const lastAccess = await this.getAccessTime(key)
|
||||
|
||||
if (Date.now() - lastAccess > 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) {
|
||||
// Not accessed in 7 days, demote to cold
|
||||
await this.cold.set(key, await this.hot.get(key))
|
||||
await this.hot.delete(key)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Geo-Distributed Storage
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class GeoDistributedAdapter implements StorageAdapter {
|
||||
constructor(
|
||||
private regions: Map<string, StorageAdapter>
|
||||
) {}
|
||||
|
||||
async get(key: string) {
|
||||
// Determine closest region
|
||||
const region = await this.getClosestRegion()
|
||||
|
||||
// Try local region first
|
||||
const localValue = await this.regions.get(region)
|
||||
.get(key)
|
||||
.catch(() => null)
|
||||
|
||||
if (localValue) return localValue
|
||||
|
||||
// Fallback to other regions
|
||||
for (const [name, adapter] of this.regions) {
|
||||
if (name !== region) {
|
||||
const value = await adapter.get(key).catch(() => null)
|
||||
if (value) {
|
||||
// Replicate to local region for next time
|
||||
this.regions.get(region).set(key, value)
|
||||
return value
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
throw new Error('Key not found in any region')
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
async set(key: string, value: any) {
|
||||
// Write to local region immediately
|
||||
const region = await this.getClosestRegion()
|
||||
await this.regions.get(region).set(key, value)
|
||||
|
||||
// Async replication to other regions
|
||||
for (const [name, adapter] of this.regions) {
|
||||
if (name !== region) {
|
||||
adapter.set(key, value).catch(console.error)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Optimization Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Write Batching
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
class BatchingAdapter implements StorageAdapter {
|
||||
private writeBatch = new Map()
|
||||
private batchTimer?: NodeJS.Timeout
|
||||

## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy's storage layer is designed for:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Flexibility**: Works with any storage backend
|
||||
2. **Coordination**: Multiple strategies for different needs
|
||||
3. **Performance**: Batching, caching, compression
|
||||
4. **Scalability**: From single file to geo-distributed
|
||||
5. **Simplicity**: Complexity hidden behind simple interface
|
||||
|
||||
The key insight: **Storage is just a plugin**. The intelligence is in the coordination layer above it!

## Version History
|
||||
|
||||
- **v5.7.7** (November 2025): Added production-scale lazy loading with `ensureIndexesLoaded()` helper. Fixed critical bug where `disableAutoRebuild: true` left indexes empty forever. Added concurrency control (mutex) to prevent duplicate rebuilds from concurrent queries. Added `getIndexStatus()` diagnostic method. Zero-config operation - works automatically.
|
||||
- **v3.45.0** (October 2025): Fixed TypeAwareHNSWIndex.rebuild() to load from storage instead of recomputing. Removed all snapshot code (unnecessary with correct rebuild pattern). 200-600x speedup.

||||
- **v3.45.0** (October 2025): Fixed type-aware vector index `rebuild()` to load from storage instead of recomputing. Removed all snapshot code (unnecessary with correct rebuild pattern). 200-600x speedup.
|
||||
- **v3.44.0** (October 2025): GraphAdjacencyIndex migrated to LSM-tree storage for billion-scale relationships
|
||||
- **v3.42.0** (October 2025): MetadataIndex migrated to chunked sparse indexing
|
||||
- **v3.35.0** (August 2025): HNSW connections first persisted to storage

### Why Split Metadata and Vectors?
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance at scale:**
|
||||
- **HNSW operations**: Only load vectors (4KB) during search, not metadata (2-10KB)
|
||||
- **Vector search operations**: Only load vectors (4KB) during search, not metadata (2-10KB)
|
||||
- **Filtering**: Only load metadata during filtering, not vectors
|
||||
- **Pagination**: Load metadata IDs first, fetch vectors/metadata on-demand
|
||||
- **Result**: 60-70% reduction in I/O for typical queries at million-entity scale

## Storage Adapters
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy provides multiple storage adapters with identical APIs and production features:
|
||||
Brainy 8.0 ships two adapters, both implementing the same `StorageAdapter` interface:
|
||||
|
||||
### FileSystem Storage (Node.js)
|
||||
### FileSystem Storage (Node.js, default)
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'filesystem',
|
||||
path: './data',
|
||||
compression: true // Gzip compression (60-80% space savings)
|
||||
}
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'filesystem',
|
||||
rootDirectory: './data'
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Use case**: Server applications, CLI tools
|
||||
- **Performance**: Direct file I/O with optional compression
|
||||
- **Use case**: Server applications, CLI tools, single-node deployments
|
||||
- **Performance**: Direct file I/O
|
||||
- **Persistence**: Permanent on disk
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- **Gzip Compression**: 60-80% storage savings with minimal CPU overhead
|
||||
- **Batch Delete**: Efficient bulk deletion with retries
|
||||
- **UUID Sharding**: Automatic 256-shard distribution
|
||||
- **Batch Delete**: Efficient bulk deletion with retries
|
||||
- **UUID Sharding**: Automatic 256-shard distribution
|
||||
|
||||
### S3 Compatible Storage (AWS, MinIO, R2)
|
||||
### Memory Storage
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 's3',
|
||||
bucket: 'my-brainy-data',
|
||||
region: 'us-east-1',
|
||||
credentials: {
|
||||
accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
|
||||
secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'memory'
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Use case**: Distributed applications, cloud deployments
|
||||
- **Performance**: Network dependent, with intelligent caching
|
||||
- **Persistence**: Cloud storage durability (99.999999999%)
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- **Lifecycle Policies**: Automatic tier transitions (Standard → IA → Glacier → Deep Archive)
|
||||
- **Intelligent-Tiering**: Automatic optimization based on access patterns (up to 95% savings)
|
||||
- **Batch Delete**: Efficient bulk deletion (1000 objects per request)
|
||||
- **Cost Impact**: $138k/year → $5.9k/year at 500TB (96% savings!)
|
||||
- **Use case**: Tests, ephemeral workloads, single-process caches
|
||||
- **Performance**: No I/O — all data lives in process memory
|
||||
- **Persistence**: None — data is lost when the process exits
|
||||
|
||||
### Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
|
||||
### Auto
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'gcs',
|
||||
bucketName: 'my-brainy-data',
|
||||
keyFilename: './service-account.json' // Or use ADC
|
||||
}
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'auto',
|
||||
rootDirectory: './data'
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Use case**: Google Cloud deployments
|
||||
- **Performance**: Global CDN with edge caching
|
||||
- **Persistence**: 99.999999999% durability
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- **Lifecycle Policies**: Automatic tier transitions (Standard → Nearline → Coldline → Archive)
|
||||
- **Autoclass**: Intelligent automatic tier optimization
|
||||
- **Batch Delete**: Efficient bulk operations
|
||||
- **Cost Impact**: $138k/year → $8.3k/year at 500TB (94% savings!)
|
||||
`'auto'` picks `'filesystem'` when running on Node.js with a writable `rootDirectory`, and falls back to `'memory'` otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Azure Blob Storage
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'azure',
|
||||
connectionString: process.env.AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING,
|
||||
containerName: 'brainy-data'
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Use case**: Azure cloud deployments
|
||||
- **Performance**: Global replication with CDN
|
||||
- **Persistence**: LRS, ZRS, GRS, RA-GRS options
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- **Blob Tier Management**: Hot/Cool/Archive tiers (99% cost savings)
|
||||
- **Lifecycle Policies**: Automatic tier transitions and deletions
|
||||
- **Batch Delete**: BlobBatchClient for efficient bulk operations
|
||||
- **Batch Tier Changes**: Move thousands of blobs efficiently
|
||||
- **Archive Rehydration**: Smart rehydration with priority options
|
||||
## Backup and Off-Site Replication
|
||||
|
||||
### Origin Private File System (Browser)
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'opfs'
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Use case**: Browser applications, PWAs
|
||||
- **Performance**: Near-native file system speed
|
||||
- **Persistence**: Permanent in browser (with quota limits)
|
||||
- **Features**:
|
||||
- **Quota Monitoring**: Real-time quota tracking and warnings
|
||||
- **Batch Delete**: Efficient bulk deletion
|
||||
- **Storage Status**: Detailed usage/available reporting
|
||||
Brainy 8.0 does not embed cloud SDKs. The on-disk artifact at `rootDirectory` is a plain directory tree of JSON files, so backup is an operator-layer concern. Typical patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
- `gsutil rsync -r ./data gs://my-bucket/brainy-data`
|
||||
- `aws s3 sync ./data s3://my-bucket/brainy-data`
|
||||
- `rclone sync ./data remote:brainy-data`
|
||||
- Periodic `tar` snapshots to any object store
|
||||
|
||||
Run these from your scheduler (cron, systemd timer, k8s CronJob) — Brainy itself only reads and writes the local directory.

||||
Ensures durability and enables recovery:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"timestamp": 1699564234567,
|
||||
"operation": "add",
|
||||
"data": {
|
||||
"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
|
||||
"content": "...",
|
||||
"metadata": {}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"checksum": "sha256:..."
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovery Process
|
||||
2. Replay operations from last checkpoint
|
||||
3. Verify checksums for integrity
|
||||
Brainy persists writes to disk through the filesystem adapter. Each save is a rename-based atomic write of a JSON file under the appropriate shard. Operators that need point-in-time recovery should snapshot `rootDirectory` (see [Backup and Off-Site Replication](#backup-and-off-site-replication)).
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Lifecycle Policies (Cloud Storage)
|
||||
|
||||
**Automatic cost optimization through tier transitions:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// S3: Set lifecycle policy for automatic archival
|
||||
await storage.setLifecyclePolicy({
|
||||
rules: [{
|
||||
id: 'archive-old-data',
|
||||
prefix: 'entities/',
|
||||
status: 'Enabled',
|
||||
transitions: [
|
||||
{ days: 30, storageClass: 'STANDARD_IA' }, // Move to IA after 30 days
|
||||
{ days: 90, storageClass: 'GLACIER' }, // Archive after 90 days
|
||||
{ days: 365, storageClass: 'DEEP_ARCHIVE' } // Deep archive after 1 year
|
||||
]
|
||||
}]
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// GCS: Set lifecycle policy
|
||||
await storage.setLifecyclePolicy({
|
||||
rules: [{
|
||||
condition: { age: 30 },
|
||||
action: { type: 'SetStorageClass', storageClass: 'NEARLINE' }
|
||||
}, {
|
||||
condition: { age: 90 },
|
||||
action: { type: 'SetStorageClass', storageClass: 'COLDLINE' }
|
||||
}, {
|
||||
condition: { age: 365 },
|
||||
action: { type: 'SetStorageClass', storageClass: 'ARCHIVE' }
|
||||
}]
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Azure: Set lifecycle policy
|
||||
await storage.setLifecyclePolicy({
|
||||
rules: [{
|
||||
name: 'archiveOldData',
|
||||
enabled: true,
|
||||
type: 'Lifecycle',
|
||||
definition: {
|
||||
filters: { blobTypes: ['blockBlob'] },
|
||||
actions: {
|
||||
baseBlob: {
|
||||
tierToCool: { daysAfterModificationGreaterThan: 30 },
|
||||
tierToArchive: { daysAfterModificationGreaterThan: 90 }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}]
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cost Impact (500TB dataset):**
|
||||
| Storage | Before | After | Savings |
|
||||
|---------|--------|-------|---------|
|
||||
| **AWS S3** | $138,000/yr | $5,940/yr | **96%** |
|
||||
| **GCS** | $138,000/yr | $8,300/yr | **94%** |
|
||||
| **Azure** | $107,520/yr | $5,016/yr | **95%** |
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Intelligent-Tiering (S3)
|
||||
|
||||
**Automatic optimization without retrieval fees:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Enable S3 Intelligent-Tiering
|
||||
await storage.enableIntelligentTiering('entities/', 'auto-optimize')
|
||||
|
||||
// Benefits:
|
||||
// - Automatic tier transitions based on access patterns
|
||||
// - No retrieval fees (unlike Glacier)
|
||||
// - Up to 95% cost savings
|
||||
// - No performance impact on frequently accessed data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Autoclass (GCS)
|
||||
|
||||
**Google Cloud's intelligent automatic optimization:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Enable GCS Autoclass
|
||||
await storage.enableAutoclass({
|
||||
terminalStorageClass: 'ARCHIVE' // Optional: Set lowest tier
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Benefits:
|
||||
// - Automatic optimization based on access patterns
|
||||
// - No data retrieval delays
|
||||
// - Transparent tier transitions
|
||||
// - Up to 94% cost savings
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Compression (FileSystem)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Enable gzip compression for local storage
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 'filesystem',
|
||||
path: './data',
|
||||
compression: true // 60-80% space savings
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Performance impact:
|
||||
// - Write: +10-20ms per file (gzip compression)
|
||||
// - Read: +5-10ms per file (gzip decompression)
|
||||
// - Space savings: 60-80% for typical JSON data
|
||||
// - CPU overhead: Minimal (~5% CPU)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Batch Operations
|
||||
### 1. Batch Operations
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Efficient batch delete
|
||||
await storage.batchDelete([
|
||||
'entities/nouns/vectors/00/00123456-....json',
|
||||
'entities/nouns/metadata/00/00123456-....json',
|
||||
// ... up to 1000 objects
|
||||
'entities/nouns/vectors/00/00123456-....json',
|
||||
'entities/nouns/metadata/00/00123456-....json'
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
])
|
||||
|
||||
// Benefits:
|
||||
// - S3: 1000 objects per request (vs 1 per request)
|
||||
// - GCS: 100 objects per request
|
||||
// - Azure: 256 objects per batch
|
||||
// - Automatic retry logic with exponential backoff
|
||||
// - Throttling protection
|
||||
|
||||
// Batch writes for performance
|
||||
await brain.addBatch([
|
||||
{ content: "item1", metadata: {} },
|
||||
{ content: "item2", metadata: {} },
|
||||
{ content: "item3", metadata: {} }
|
||||
{ content: "item1", metadata: {} },
|
||||
{ content: "item2", metadata: {} },
|
||||
{ content: "item3", metadata: {} }
|
||||
])
|
||||
// Single transaction, optimized I/O
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Quota Monitoring (OPFS)
|
||||
### 2. Caching Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Get quota status for browser storage
|
||||
const status = await storage.getStorageStatus()
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(status)
|
||||
// {
|
||||
// type: 'opfs',
|
||||
// available: true,
|
||||
// details: {
|
||||
// usage: 45829120, // 43.7 MB used
|
||||
// quota: 536870912, // 512 MB available
|
||||
// usagePercent: 8.5,
|
||||
// quotaExceeded: false
|
||||
// }
|
||||
// }
|
||||
|
||||
// Proactive quota management:
|
||||
// - Monitor usage before writes
|
||||
// - Warn users when approaching quota
|
||||
// - Automatically clean up old data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Tier Management (Azure)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Change blob tier for cost optimization
|
||||
await storage.changeBlobTier(blobPath, 'Cool') // Hot → Cool (50% savings)
|
||||
await storage.changeBlobTier(blobPath, 'Archive') // Cool → Archive (99% savings)
|
||||
|
||||
// Batch tier changes (efficient)
|
||||
await storage.batchChangeTier([blob1, blob2, blob3], 'Cool')
|
||||
|
||||
// Rehydrate from Archive when needed
|
||||
await storage.rehydrateBlob(blobPath, 'Standard') // Standard or High priority
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Caching Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Configure caching per storage type

## Performance Tuning
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage-Specific Optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
#### FileSystem
|
||||
- **Directory sharding**: Split files across subdirectories
|
||||
### FileSystem Optimizations
|
||||
- **Directory sharding**: 256 shards spread files across subdirectories
|
||||
- **Async I/O**: Non-blocking file operations
|
||||
- **Buffer pooling**: Reuse buffers for efficiency
|
||||
|
||||
#### S3
|
||||
- **Multipart uploads**: For large objects
|
||||
- **Request batching**: Combine small operations
|
||||
- **CDN integration**: Edge caching for reads
|
||||
|
||||
#### OPFS
|
||||
- **Quota management**: Monitor and request increases
|
||||
- **Worker offloading**: Heavy operations in workers
|
||||
- **Transaction batching**: Group operations

|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Choose the Right Adapter
|
||||
1. **Development**: FileSystem with compression (local persistence, small storage footprint)
|
||||
2. **Production Server**: FileSystem with compression or cloud storage with lifecycle policies
|
||||
3. **Browser Apps**: OPFS with quota monitoring
|
||||
4. **Distributed**: S3/GCS/Azure with Intelligent-Tiering/Autoclass
|
||||
1. **Development & tests**: `memory` for speed, `filesystem` when you need persistence
|
||||
2. **Single-node production**: `filesystem` with off-site backup via `gsutil` / `aws s3 sync` / `rclone`
|
||||
3. **Multi-node production**: Run Brainy behind a service layer; replicate the on-disk artifact via your operator tooling
|
||||
|
||||
### Optimize for Your Use Case
|
||||
1. **Read-heavy**: Enable aggressive caching + cloud CDN
|
||||
2. **Write-heavy**: Batch operations + async writes
|
||||
1. **Read-heavy**: Enable caching and let the OS page cache do its job
|
||||
2. **Write-heavy**: Batch operations and tune the cache `maxSize`
|
||||
3. **Real-time**: FileSystem with periodic snapshots
|
||||
4. **Archival**: Cloud storage with lifecycle policies (96% cost savings!)
|
||||
5. **Large-scale**: Metadata/vector separation + UUID sharding + lifecycle policies
|
||||
|
||||
### Cost Optimization
|
||||
1. **Enable lifecycle policies** for cloud storage (automated cost reduction)
|
||||
2. **Use Intelligent-Tiering (S3)** or Autoclass (GCS) for automatic optimization
|
||||
3. **Enable compression** for FileSystem storage (60-80% space savings)
|
||||
4. **Monitor quota** for OPFS (prevent quota exceeded errors)
|
||||
5. **Use batch operations** for bulk deletions (efficient API usage)
|
||||
6. **Consider tier management** for Azure (Hot/Cool/Archive tiers)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Cost Savings (500TB dataset):**
|
||||
- Without lifecycle policies: **$138,000/year**
|
||||
- With lifecycle policies: **$5,940/year**
|
||||
- **Savings: $132,060/year (96%)**
|
||||
4. **Archival**: Snapshot `rootDirectory` to cold object storage on a schedule
|
||||
5. **Large-scale**: Rely on metadata/vector separation + UUID sharding
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitor and Maintain
|
||||
1. Regular statistics collection
|
||||
2. Monitor lifecycle policy effectiveness
|
||||
2. Watch disk usage and shard balance
|
||||
3. Index optimization
|
||||
4. Cache tuning based on hit rates
|
||||
5. Track storage costs and tier distribution
|
||||
6. Review quota usage (OPFS) and storage growth patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Production Deployment Checklist
|
||||
- ✅ Enable lifecycle policies on cloud storage
|
||||
- ✅ Configure batch delete for cleanup operations
|
||||
- ✅ Enable compression for FileSystem storage
|
||||
- ✅ Set up quota monitoring for OPFS
|
||||
- ✅ Configure appropriate tier transitions
|
||||
- ✅ Enable Intelligent-Tiering (S3) or Autoclass (GCS)
|
||||
- ✅ Monitor storage costs and optimize regularly
|
||||
5. Verify backup runs (test restore quarterly)

||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
For off-site backup, snapshot `rootDirectory` from your scheduler using `gsutil rsync`, `aws s3 sync`, `rclone`, or `tar` — there are no cloud storage augmentations.

# Distributed Brainy System Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy introduces a groundbreaking **zero-configuration distributed system** that transforms how vector databases scale. Unlike traditional distributed databases that require complex setup (Consul, etcd, Zookeeper), Brainy uses your existing storage (S3, GCS, R2) as the coordination layer.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Innovation: Storage-Based Coordination
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of requiring separate infrastructure for coordination, Brainy leverages your storage backend:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Traditional distributed database setup:
|
||||
// ❌ Setup Consul/etcd
|
||||
// ❌ Configure node discovery
|
||||
// ❌ Setup health checks
|
||||
// ❌ Configure sharding
|
||||
// ❌ Setup replication
|
||||
|
||||
// Brainy distributed setup:
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 's3',
|
||||
options: { bucket: 'my-data' }
|
||||
},
|
||||
distributed: true // ✅ That's it!
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Real-World Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Processing Multiple Streaming Data Sources (Bluesky, Twitter, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: You need to ingest millions of posts from multiple social media firehoses simultaneously while maintaining search performance.
|
||||
|
||||
**Traditional Approach**:
|
||||
- Separate ingestion and search clusters
|
||||
- Complex queue systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
|
||||
- Manual sharding configuration
|
||||
- Complicated backpressure handling
|
||||
|
||||
**Brainy Solution**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Node 1: Bluesky Ingestion
|
||||
const ingestionNode1 = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: { type: 's3', options: { bucket: 'social-data' }},
|
||||
distributed: true,
|
||||
writeOnly: true // Optimized for writes
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Continuously ingest Bluesky firehose
|
||||
blueskyStream.on('post', async (post) => {
|
||||
await ingestionNode1.add({
|
||||
content: post.text,
|
||||
author: post.author,
|
||||
timestamp: post.createdAt,
|
||||
platform: 'bluesky'
|
||||
}, 'social-post')
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Node 2: Twitter Ingestion (separate machine)
|
||||
const ingestionNode2 = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: { type: 's3', options: { bucket: 'social-data' }},
|
||||
distributed: true,
|
||||
writeOnly: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Node 3-5: Search nodes (auto-balanced)
|
||||
const searchNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: { type: 's3', options: { bucket: 'social-data' }},
|
||||
distributed: true,
|
||||
readOnly: true // Optimized for queries
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Search across ALL data from ALL sources
|
||||
const results = await searchNode.find('AI trends', 100)
|
||||
// Automatically queries all shards across all nodes!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits**:
|
||||
- **Auto-sharding**: Data automatically distributed by content hash
|
||||
- **No bottlenecks**: Each ingestion node writes directly to storage
|
||||
- **Live search**: Search nodes see new data immediately
|
||||
- **Auto-scaling**: Add nodes anytime, data rebalances automatically
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Multi-Tenant SaaS Application
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Each customer needs isolated, fast search across their documents, with ability to scale per customer.
|
||||
|
||||
**Brainy Solution**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Spin up dedicated nodes per large customer
|
||||
const enterpriseNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 's3',
|
||||
options: {
|
||||
bucket: 'customer-data',
|
||||
prefix: 'customer-123/' // Isolated data
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
distributed: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Shared nodes for smaller customers
|
||||
const sharedNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 's3',
|
||||
options: { bucket: 'shared-customers' }
|
||||
},
|
||||
distributed: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Domain-based sharding ensures customer data stays together
|
||||
await sharedNode.add(document, 'document', {
|
||||
customerId: 'cust-456', // Used for shard assignment
|
||||
domain: 'customer-456' // Keeps related data together
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Global Knowledge Graph with Local Inference
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Building a knowledge graph that needs both global connectivity and local LLM inference.
|
||||
|
||||
**Brainy Solution**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Edge nodes near users (with GPU)
|
||||
const edgeNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: { type: 's3', options: { bucket: 'knowledge-graph' }},
|
||||
distributed: true,
|
||||
models: {
|
||||
embed: { model: 'BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5' },
|
||||
chat: { model: 'meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct' }
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Central nodes for graph operations
|
||||
const graphNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: { type: 's3', options: { bucket: 'knowledge-graph' }},
|
||||
distributed: true,
|
||||
augmentations: ['graph', 'triple-intelligence']
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Local inference with global knowledge
|
||||
const context = await edgeNode.find(userQuery, 10)
|
||||
const response = await edgeNode.chat(userQuery, { context })
|
||||
|
||||
// Graph traversal across all nodes
|
||||
const connections = await graphNode.traverse({
|
||||
start: 'concept:AI',
|
||||
depth: 3,
|
||||
relationship: 'related-to'
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
| Query Language | Complex DSL | Natural language |
|
||||
|
||||
## Innovative Features
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Domain-Aware Sharding
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike hash-based sharding, Brainy understands data relationships:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Documents about the same topic stay on the same shard
|
||||
await brain.add(doc1, 'document', { domain: 'physics' })
|
||||
await brain.add(doc2, 'document', { domain: 'physics' })
|
||||
// Both documents on same shard = faster related queries
|
||||
|
||||
// Customer data stays together
|
||||
await brain.add(order, 'order', { customerId: 'cust-123' })
|
||||
await brain.add(invoice, 'invoice', { customerId: 'cust-123' })
|
||||
// Same customer = same shard = better locality
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Streaming Shard Migration
|
||||
|
||||
Zero-downtime data movement between nodes:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Automatically triggered when nodes join/leave
|
||||
// Uses HTTP streaming for efficiency
|
||||
// Validates data integrity
|
||||
// Atomic ownership transfer
|
||||
// No query downtime!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Storage-Based Consensus
|
||||
|
||||
No Raft/Paxos complexity:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Leader election via storage atomic operations
|
||||
// Health monitoring via storage heartbeats
|
||||
// Configuration consensus via storage CAS
|
||||
// No split-brain issues!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Intelligent Query Planning
|
||||
|
||||
The distributed query planner understands:
|
||||
- Which shards contain relevant data
|
||||
- Node health and latency
|
||||
- Data locality and caching
|
||||
- Triple Intelligence scoring
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Automatically optimizes query execution
|
||||
const results = await brain.find('quantum physics')
|
||||
// Planner knows:
|
||||
// - Physics domain → shard-3
|
||||
// - Node-2 has shard-3 cached
|
||||
// - Route query to node-2
|
||||
// - Merge results with Triple Intelligence
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
### Scalability
|
||||
- **Horizontal**: Add nodes anytime
|
||||
- **Vertical**: Nodes can differ in size
|
||||
- **Geographic**: Nodes can be globally distributed
|
||||
- **Elastic**: Scale to zero when idle
|
||||
|
||||
### Throughput
|
||||
- **Writes**: Linear scaling with nodes
|
||||
- **Reads**: Sub-linear (due to caching)
|
||||
- **Mixed**: Read/write optimized nodes
|
||||
|
||||
### Latency
|
||||
- **Local queries**: ~10ms p50
|
||||
- **Distributed queries**: ~50ms p50
|
||||
- **Shard migration**: Streaming (no bulk pause)
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases Where Brainy Excels
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ Perfect For:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Multi-source data ingestion** (social media, logs, events)
|
||||
2. **Global search applications** (distributed teams)
|
||||
3. **Multi-tenant SaaS** (customer isolation)
|
||||
4. **Knowledge graphs** (with vector search)
|
||||
5. **Edge AI applications** (local inference, global knowledge)
|
||||
6. **Document intelligence** (contracts, research papers)
|
||||
7. **Real-time analytics** (streaming + search)
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ Consider Alternatives For:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Strong consistency requirements** (use PostgreSQL)
|
||||
2. **Sub-millisecond latency** (use Redis)
|
||||
3. **Complex transactions** (use traditional RDBMS)
|
||||
4. **Purely structured data** (use columnar stores)
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration from Other Systems
|
||||
|
||||
### From Pinecone/Weaviate:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Your existing vector search still works
|
||||
const results = await brain.search(embedding, 10)
|
||||
|
||||
// But now you can scale horizontally!
|
||||
// And add graph relationships!
|
||||
// And use natural language!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### From Elasticsearch:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Import your documents
|
||||
await brain.import('./elasticsearch-export.json')
|
||||
|
||||
// Queries are simpler
|
||||
const results = await brain.find('user query')
|
||||
// No complex DSL needed!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### From Neo4j:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Import your graph
|
||||
await brain.importGraph('./neo4j-export.cypher')
|
||||
|
||||
// Now with vector search!
|
||||
const similar = await brain.find('concepts like quantum computing')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Start Simple, Scale Later
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Day 1: Single node
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: 's3' })
|
||||
|
||||
// Month 2: Growing data, add distribution
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: 's3',
|
||||
distributed: true // Just add this!
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Month 6: Multiple nodes auto-balance
|
||||
// No migration needed!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Geographic Distribution
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// US Node
|
||||
const usNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: { region: 'us-east-1' },
|
||||
distributed: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// EU Node
|
||||
const euNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: { region: 'eu-west-1' },
|
||||
distributed: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// They automatically coordinate!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Specialized Nodes
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// GPU nodes for embedding
|
||||
const embedNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
distributed: true,
|
||||
writeOnly: true,
|
||||
models: { embed: 'large-model' }
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// CPU nodes for search
|
||||
const searchNode = new Brainy({
|
||||
distributed: true,
|
||||
readOnly: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring & Operations
|
||||
|
||||
### Health Checks
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const health = await brain.getClusterHealth()
|
||||
// {
|
||||
// nodes: 5,
|
||||
// healthy: 5,
|
||||
// shards: 16,
|
||||
// status: 'green'
|
||||
// }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Shard Distribution
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const shards = await brain.getShardDistribution()
|
||||
// Shows which nodes own which shards
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Migration Status
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const migrations = await brain.getActiveMigrations()
|
||||
// Shows ongoing shard movements
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Brainy's distributed system is **production-ready** and offers:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **True zero-configuration** - Just add `distributed: true`
|
||||
2. **Storage-based coordination** - No external dependencies
|
||||
3. **Intelligent sharding** - Domain-aware data placement
|
||||
4. **Automatic operations** - Rebalancing, failover, scaling
|
||||
5. **Unified interface** - Vector + Graph + Document + LLM
|
||||
|
||||
This is not just another distributed database. It's a fundamental rethinking of how distributed systems should work in the cloud era.

### Distributed Storage
|
||||
### Storage Adapter Interface
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Fully Compatible**
|
||||
|
||||
Transactions work with distributed/remote storage:
|
||||
Transactions go through the `StorageAdapter` interface, so both shipped adapters (filesystem, memory) and any custom plugin adapter inherit the same atomicity guarantees:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Works with S3, Azure, GCS, etc.
|
||||
const brain = new Brainy({
|
||||
storage: {
|
||||
type: 's3Compatible',
|
||||
config: { /* S3 config */ }
|
||||
}
|
||||
storage: { type: 'filesystem', rootDirectory: './data' }
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
// Transactions ensure atomicity at write coordinator level
|
||||
await brain.add({ data: { name: 'Remote Entity' }, type: NounType.Thing })
|
||||
await brain.add({ data: { name: 'Entity' }, type: NounType.Thing })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How It Works:**
|
||||
- Transactions operate through `StorageAdapter` interface
|
||||
- Remote storage adapters implement same interface
|
||||
- Atomicity guaranteed at write-coordinator level
|
||||
- Read-after-write consistency maintained
|
||||
|
||||
**Design Philosophy:**
|
||||
- **Single-node writes** (most common): Fully atomic ✅
|
||||
- **Distributed reads + centralized writes**: Transactions on primary ✅
|
||||
- **Multi-primary**: Transactions per-instance, cross-instance via coordinator ✅
|
||||
- Custom adapters registered via the plugin system implement the same interface
|
||||
- Atomicity guaranteed at the write-coordinator level
|
||||
- Read-after-write consistency maintained inside a single Brainy process

### 5. Understand Atomicity Guarantees
|
||||
|
||||
**What Transactions GUARANTEE:**
|
||||
- ✅ Atomicity within single Brainy instance
|
||||
- ✅ Atomicity within a single Brainy process
|
||||
- ✅ Consistent state across all indexes
|
||||
- ✅ Automatic rollback on failure
|
||||
- ✅ Works with all storage adapters (local, remote, COW, sharded)
|
||||
- ✅ Works with all storage adapters (filesystem, memory, custom plugin adapters)
|
||||
|
||||
**What Transactions DON'T Provide:**
|
||||
- ❌ Two-phase commit across multiple Brainy instances
|
||||
- ❌ Distributed locking across nodes
|
||||
- ❌ Distributed locking across processes
|
||||
- ❌ Cross-datacenter ACID guarantees
|
||||
|
||||
**Design:** Transactions ensure atomicity at the **write coordinator level**. For multi-instance scenarios, use `DistributedCoordinator`.
|
||||
**Design:** Transactions ensure atomicity at the **write-coordinator level** inside one process. Cross-instance coordination, if you need it, lives in your service layer.
