2025-11-13 19:11:58 +01:00 | 568 commits to main since this releasev5.7.7: Production-Scale Lazy Loading + Documentation Updates
Critical Bug Fix
Fixed critical bug where
disableAutoRebuild: trueleft indexes empty forever, causingbrain.find()to return 0 results even when 1,000+ entities existed in storage.New Features
Production-Scale Lazy Loading (v5.7.7)
ensureIndexesLoaded()helper with concurrency control- Mutex prevents duplicate rebuilds from concurrent queries
- Zero-config: works automatically, no code changes needed
- Performance: 0-10ms init, 50-200ms first query, 0ms subsequent queries
Concurrency Safety:
- 100 concurrent queries = 1 rebuild (~60ms total)
- Mutex-based coordination prevents race conditions
Documentation Updates
Index Architecture Clarification:
- 3 main indexes + ~50+ sub-indexes accurately documented
- Added TypeAwareHNSWIndex with 42 type-specific indexes
- Documented MetadataIndexManager sub-components
- Documented GraphAdjacencyIndex with 4 LSM-trees
Lazy Loading Documentation:
- Mode 1 (Auto-Rebuild) vs Mode 2 (Lazy Loading) comparison
- Use cases for each mode (serverless, development, large datasets)
- Performance characteristics and benchmarks
Use Cases
Lazy Loading Benefits:
- Serverless/Edge: Minimize cold start time (0-10ms init)
- Development: Faster restarts during development
- Large datasets: Defer index loading until needed
- Read-heavy workloads: Writes don't wait for index rebuild
Workshop Team
This release specifically addresses the bug reported by the Workshop team where
brain.find({ limit: 900 })returned 0-5 results despite 1,173 entities in storage.Upgrade:
npm install @soulcraft/brainy@5.7.7No code changes needed - existing code will work automatically!
