Preview scope: one node, no HA claim

Current public position

Spedo is a preview single-node data engine. It is not a complete Redis replacement and must not be presented as highly available.

  • KV/JSON persistence: SPDO2 checkpoints and optional SPEDO_WAL_FSYNC=always provide local single-node recovery only; they do not make specialized structures, backups, or HA durable.
  • Replication: REPLICAOF, ROLE, and INFO REPLICATION are experimental control-plane APIs; they do not synchronize data or provide failover.
  • Tiered storage: experimental only; it is not durable cold storage and carries no restart, disk-full, corruption, or zero-loss guarantee.
  • Local cache / write-behind: client optimizations, not server acknowledgements or distributed coherence guarantees.

Read the complete product maturity and deployment scope before production evaluation.

Quickstart & Drop-In Compatibility

Spedo speaks a documented RESP subset. Use the native SDK or a compatible RESP client after validating the commands and failure semantics required by your application.

🔌 RESP client compatibility is command-by-command

Core key/value examples work with compatible RESP clients such as redis-py. Validate authentication, transactions, Pub/Sub, scripting, persistence, and framework-specific commands before migrating an existing deployment.

python (canonical SDK)
# Option A: install the canonical SDK: pip install spedo
from spedo_client import SpedoClient

client = SpedoClient(host="127.0.0.1", port=6380)

# Everyday In-Memory Caching:
client.set("user:session:100", "active", ex=3600)
session = client.get("user:session:100")
visits = client.incr("page:views:home")

# Option B: Using standard redis-py without changing existing code:
import redis
r = redis.Redis(host="127.0.0.1", port=6380)
r.set("key", "value")
print(r.get("key"))

Zero-Socket Embedded In-Process Runtime

Run Spedo natively inside Python, scripts, and microservices with zero TCP sockets, zero daemon setup, and instant nanosecond memory execution.

Open Dedicated Hybrid Embedded Mode Guide →
python
import spedo

# 1. Instant in-process database in RAM (no daemon, no network socket, 0.001ms):
db = spedo.embedded(max_memory="128MB")
db.set("user:100", "Alice")
print(db.get("user:100")) # Returns b"Alice"

# 2. SQLite-style connection syntax for in-memory or file-persisted engines:
db_mem = spedo.connect(":memory:")
db_file = spedo.connect("app_cache.spedo") # File-persisted local engine

# 3. Seamless switch to remote cluster when deploying to production:
db_remote = spedo.connect("spedo.prod:6380")

Server Configuration Variables

Environment Variable Default Description
SPEDO_ADDR 127.0.0.1:6380 Primary TCP listener interface and port for RESP client traffic. Bind privately by default.
SPEDO_METRICS_ADDR 127.0.0.1:6381 HTTP Prometheus scraper endpoint serving /metrics; keep it on a private network.
SPEDO_MAX_MEMORY 64MB Memory ceiling for admission and eviction policy (e.g. 256MB, 4GB).
SPEDO_PERSIST_PATH /data/spedo.snapshot SPDO2 checkpoint path for the KV/JSON keyspace.
SPEDO_SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL_SECS 30 Background persistence cron interval in seconds. Set to 0 to disable periodic snapshots.
SPEDO_WAL_FSYNC disabled always, everysec or none enable KV/JSON WAL modes; a persistence path is required.
SPEDO_RECOVERY_POLICY fail with WAL always Choose fail for strict recovery or empty_on_invalid for a rebuildable cache profile.
SPEDO_COL_ENABLED true Enables autonomous Cost-of-Life (COL) background memory compaction agent.
SPEDO_COL_INTERVAL_SECS 5 Background cron period (in seconds) at which COL checks memory pressure.
SPEDO_COL_THRESHOLD_PERCENT 70 Memory saturation percentage (1-99%) triggering proactive TTL compression.
SPEDO_USERS None (Open-Bar) Multi-user credentials: user:pass:role,user2:pass2:role2.
SPEDO_REQUIREPASS None Single admin password fallback for simple password security.
SPEDO_LICENSE_PATH /etc/spedo/spedo.lic Custom path to the cryptographically signed Ed25519 license key file.
🕒 Autonomous Server-Side Cron & Background Schedulers

Spedo runs three decoupled, non-blocking background workers continuously inside the engine:

  • 1. Snapshot Persistence Cron: Automatically saves an atomic, non-blocking disk image every SPEDO_SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL_SECS (default: 30s).
  • 2. Cost-of-Life (COL) Memory Compaction Cron: Ticks every SPEDO_COL_INTERVAL_SECS (default: 5s). When memory exceeds 70%, it proactively compresses distant TTLs to avoid latency spikes and OOM.
  • 3. Live Telemetry & QPS Monitor: Evaluates sliding window throughput, keyspace stats, and memory allocations every 10 seconds.

Burn-After-Reading Single-Use Secrets & Quota Keys

Natively manage temporal OTP tokens, claim codes, or single-read secrets that atomically self-destruct upon reading without requiring multi-step Lua scripts or separate DEL commands.

Open Dedicated Burn-After-Reading Guide & Protocol Reference →
python
# 1. Set key with 1-read allowance and 300s TTL
client.execute_command("BURN.SET", "otp:user_992", "847291", "1", "300")

# 2. First read succeeds and atomically purges the key in 1 single RTT
token = client.get("otp:user_992") # Returns b"847291"

# 3. Subsequent reads are guaranteed non-existent
token_again = client.get("otp:user_992") # Returns None

Core Key-Value Operations

Spedo implements standard key-value primitives with zero-copy binary serialization and multi-sharded lock striping.

python
# Basic SET with expiration (ex in seconds, px in milliseconds)
client.set("session:99", "token_xyz", ex=1800)

# Conditional SET: NX (Only if Not Exists), XX (Only if Already Exists)
client.set("lock:lead", "worker-1", nx=True)
client.set("profile:1", "updated", xx=True)

# Multi-Key Fetch (MGET)
values = client.mget(["user:1", "user:2", "user:99"])
# Returns: [b"Alice", b"Bob", None]

# Delete and Exists
deleted_count = client.delete("session:99", "temp:key")
exists = client.exists("user:1") # Returns 1 if present, 0 otherwise

Expirations & PUSH_TTL

Manage key lifetimes with millisecond precision and use atomic refresh reads.

python
# Set expiration on an existing key
client.expire("session:token", 3600)

# Check remaining TTL in seconds
remaining = client.ttl("session:token")

# GET + PUSH_TTL (Single atomic round-trip)
# Fetches the value and automatically resets TTL to 1800 seconds
session_data = client.get_with_push_ttl("session:token", ttl_seconds=1800)

Atomic Counters, CAS & GETDEL

python
# Atomic Increments & Decrements
views = client.incr("counter:views")        # 1
views = client.incrby("counter:views", 10)   # 11
stock = client.decrby("items:stock", 2)

# Compare-And-Swap (CAS)
# Updates 'state' to 'RUNNING' ONLY IF its current value is 'PENDING'
success = client.cas("job:status", expected="PENDING", new_val="RUNNING")
# Returns 1 if swapped, 0 if current value didn't match expected

# GETDEL (Atomic Fetch & Remove)
single_use_code = client.getdel("otp:user_55")

Native Token-Bucket Rate Limiter

Enforce strict sliding window rate limits without custom Lua scripts or race conditions.

python
# Allow max 10 requests per 60-second window per API key
allowed = client.ratelimit(key="rate:apikey_abc", max_requests=10, window_seconds=60)

if not allowed:
    raise HTTPException(status_code=429, detail="Too Many Requests")

Batch Pipelining & Distributed Locks

python
# Batch Pipelining (Executes all commands in 1 single TCP round-trip)
pipe = client.pipeline()
for i in range(500):
    pipe.set(f"sensor:{i}", f"val_{i}")
    pipe.expire(f"sensor:{i}", 600)
results = pipe.execute()

# Distributed Lock with Background Auto-Heartbeat
with client.lock("lock:invoice_generation", ttl_secs=10, timeout=3.0):
    # Critical section: heartbeat automatically extends lease during computation
    process_invoice()
# Automatically unlocked upon exit

Semantic LLM Caching & Agent Memory

python
# 1. Semantic LLM Cache Decorator
@client.cached_llm(similarity=0.95, ttl=86400, index="llm_cache")
def generate_answer(prompt: str) -> str:
    # Calls OpenAI, Anthropic, or Mistral only on semantic cache miss
    return openai_client.chat(prompt)

# 2. Unified AI Agent Memory (Short-Term Window + Long-Term Vector Search)
agent_mem = client.agent_memory(session_id="session_user_42", max_short_term=10)

# Record conversation turns
agent_mem.add("user", "I am deploying a distributed database on Kubernetes.")
agent_mem.add("assistant", "Great! Do you need help with stateful sets?")

# Retrieve short-term context for prompt construction
recent_context = agent_mem.get_context()

# Search long-term semantic history
relevant_memories = agent_mem.search_long_term("What infrastructure is the user running?", k=3)

In-Memory Matrix Engine & LLM In-Situ Acceleration

Beyond Key-Value pairs, Spedo features a native contiguous 2D Matrix Engine in RAM (X × Y → Value). By storing weights, KV-caches, and token logits as contiguous 64-byte aligned float buffers, memory lookups execute in 0.3 nanoseconds (1 CPU cycle) and linear algebra operations execute at 50 GB/s memory bus speed via SIMD AVX2/NEON.

Standard Key-Value Store (Redis / Hashmaps) Hash Tables & Pointer Chasing
  • 85% RAM wasted: String keys (user:101:feat:42) duplicate overhead.
  • CPU Cache Misses: Random memory jumps during hashtable lookups.
  • No Vector Math: Python must download entire arrays over TCP to run NumPy.
Spedo Contiguous Matrix Engine 0.3 ns Arithmetic Offset & In-Situ SIMD
  • 0% String Overhead: 1M float values occupy exactly 4 MB of contiguous RAM.
  • 0.3 ns Offset Lookup: Direct arithmetic addressing (row * cols + col).
  • In-DB Linear Algebra: Matrix-Vector multiply, Softmax, Argmax, and Masking.

Reactive Delta Query Binding & Freshness SLAs

📖 Dedicated Reactive Query Guide v0.63

Delta Query Binding (bind_query / bind_collection) transforms Spedo into an active in-memory dataflow layer. Rather than repeatedly sending query commands across the network or invalidating full collections, worker applications maintain a local in-memory bound view that is automatically patched with differential micro-deltas (DeltaOp) over CDC ring buffers.

import spedo
from spedo import DeltaOp

# Initialize embedded engine or remote TCP client
db = spedo.embedded(max_memory="256MB")

# Bind a live collection of active orders with 50ms Freshness SLA:
orders = db.bind_query("order:*", freshness="bounded:50ms")

# Reads execute in 0.4 µs directly from RAM (0 network hops):
print(orders.get("order:101"))
print(f"Live order count: {len(orders)}")

# Differential delta patches applied locally in microsecond time:
orders.apply_delta(DeltaOp.UPDATE_FIELD, "order:101", "DELIVERED", path="status")
# Freshness Contracts let you choose between raw speed and linearizability:

# 1. Strict SLA: Guarantees zero staleness (revalidates sync state)
db.bind_query("ledger:*", freshness="strict")

# 2. Bounded Staleness: Reads from RAM < 0.001ms if within 50ms lag budget
db.bind_query("orders:*", freshness="bounded:50ms")

# 3. Eventual Consistency: Instant 0.4 µs local RAM reads + background delta sync
db.bind_query("catalog:*", freshness="eventual")
# Filter predicates ensure only relevant records occupy worker memory:
vip_pending = db.bind_query(
    "order:*",
    freshness="bounded:20ms",
    filter_fn=lambda k, v: isinstance(v, dict) and v.get("status") == "PENDING"
)
# Reactive subscriber event callback
orders = db.bind_query("order:*", freshness="bounded:50ms")

def on_change(key: str, op: str, value: any):
    print(f"🔔 Mutation Event: {op} on {key} -> {value}")

orders.subscribe(on_change)

Distributed Live Variables (`bind_var`)

Distributed Live Variables behave like normal local Python variables but remain synchronized across all microservice instances in real time. Local reads execute in 0.24 µs directly from process RAM with 0 network hops. Whenever any instance mutates .value, Spedo broadcasts an immediate binary invalidation push event to all subscribed pods.

from spedo.client import SpedoClient

spedo = SpedoClient(host="127.0.0.1", port=6380)

# 1. Bind boolean flags (read locally in 0.24 µs on every HTTP request)
maintenance_mode = spedo.bind_var("flags:maintenance_enabled", default=False)
new_search_algo  = spedo.bind_var("flags:use_vector_search_v2", default=True)

# In your FastAPI / Flask request handler (0 network overhead):
def handle_request(req):
    if maintenance_mode.value:
        return {"error": "System is undergoing maintenance"}, 503
    
    if new_search_algo.value:
        return execute_vector_search(req.query)
    return execute_legacy_search(req.query)

# Toggle instantly from an admin script / control plane:
# -> Pushes update to all 100 Kubernetes pods in < 0.5 ms!
maintenance_mode.value = True
# 2. Dynamic thresholds adjusted at runtime without redeploying microservices
max_tx_amount   = spedo.bind_var("rules:fraud:max_single_tx", default=2500.0)
risk_multiplier = spedo.bind_var("rules:fraud:risk_score_multiplier", default=1.35)
max_login_retry = spedo.bind_var("rules:auth:max_login_attempts", default=5)

def validate_payment(amount: float, user_risk_score: float):
    adjusted_risk = user_risk_score * risk_multiplier.value
    
    # Fast in-memory evaluation (0 ms network):
    if amount > max_tx_amount.value or adjusted_risk > 75.0:
        return {"status": "REQUIRES_MANUAL_REVIEW"}
    return {"status": "APPROVED"}

# During Black Friday or emergency risk alert, update threshold instantly:
max_tx_amount.value = 1200.0
# 3. Dynamic JSON dictionary / list configurations
cluster_routing = spedo.bind_var("config:geo_routing_table", default={
    "us-east": "https://us.gateway.spedo.internal",
    "eu-west": "https://eu.gateway.spedo.internal",
    "ap-south": "https://ap.gateway.spedo.internal"
})

allowed_ip_whitelist = spedo.bind_var("security:ip_whitelist", default=[
    "10.0.0.1", "10.0.0.2", "192.168.1.100"
])

# Reading nested configuration locally in 0 µs:
def route_request(region: str, client_ip: str):
    if client_ip not in allowed_ip_whitelist.value:
        return "Access Denied"
    return cluster_routing.value.get(region, cluster_routing.value["us-east"])
import asyncio
from spedo.client import SpedoClient

spedo = SpedoClient(host="127.0.0.1", port=6380)

# 4. Asynchronous waiting for distributed state transitions
job_status = spedo.bind_var("pipeline:batch_job_9410:status", default="PENDING")

async def worker_pipeline():
    print("Waiting for job to be marked READY...")
    # Suspends async coroutine until value equals 'READY' (Zero CPU busy-looping!):
    await job_status.wait_until("READY", timeout=15.0)
    
    print("Processing batch data in parallel...")
    await asyncio.sleep(2.0)
    
    # Notify all downstream listeners:
    job_status.value = "COMPLETED"
from dataclasses import dataclass
from spedo.client import SpedoClient

@dataclass
class UserSession:
    user_id: int
    username: str
    roles: list[str]
    is_vip: bool = False

spedo = SpedoClient(host="127.0.0.1", port=6380)

# 5. Synchronize custom typed OOP domain objects via pickle
session_state = spedo.bind_var(
    "live:session:user_4812",
    default=UserSession(user_id=4812, username="alex", roles=["viewer"]),
    serializer="pickle",
    trusted=True  # Safe for internal application keyspace
)

# Read typed properties locally with zero network hops:
if "admin" in session_state.value.roles:
    enable_admin_portal()

# Mutate domain object across microservices:
session_state.value = UserSession(user_id=4812, username="alex", roles=["viewer", "admin"], is_vip=True)
🛡️ Performance & Security Best Practices
  • Read Performance: Accessing .value reads the in-process cached instance (0.24 µs). It never triggers a network socket call unless invalidated.
  • Write Coherence: Assigning .value = new_val pushes an atomic RESP update to Spedo, which broadcasts invalidation frames to all connected pods.
  • Pickle Security: Use serializer="pickle" and trusted=True only for internal keyspaces strictly authored by your own microservices.

Auto-Sync Shared Globals across Instances

Write 100% natural Python code without decorators or manual variable lists. When you call auto_sync(globals()), Spedo inspects your compiled bytecode (func.__code__.co_names), discovers every global variable in your functions, and synchronizes mutations in real-time across all your Kubernetes pods.

# === POD #1 : ORDERS MICROSERVICE (e.g. app_pod_1.py) ===
from spedo import auto_sync

# 1. Declare standard Python variables (NO wrappers, NO special objects)
daily_revenue = 0
active_orders = 0
promo_banner  = "WELCOME_2026"

# 2. Standard business functions (NO decorators required)
def record_checkout(amount: int):
    global daily_revenue, active_orders
    daily_revenue = int(daily_revenue) + amount
    active_orders = int(active_orders) + 1

def set_promo(new_banner: str):
    global promo_banner
    promo_banner = new_banner

# ⚡ 3. ONE SINGLE LINE at the end of the module:
# Automatically discovers all functions and global variables via bytecode!
auto_sync(globals())

# Execution on Pod #1:
print("Pod #1: Recording payment of $120...")
record_checkout(120)
set_promo("FLASH_50_OFF")
# -> Spedo automatically detects mutations and pushes new values in < 0.5ms!
# === POD #2 : BILLING & GATEWAY SERVICE (e.g. app_pod_2.py) ===
from spedo import auto_sync

# 1. Same standard Python variables
daily_revenue = 0
active_orders = 0
promo_banner  = ""

# 2. Standard reader or checkout functions (NO decorators required)
def get_cluster_status():
    # Spedo pulls latest remote values before function execution automatically!
    global daily_revenue, active_orders, promo_banner
    return {
        "total_revenue": daily_revenue,
        "total_orders": active_orders,
        "current_promo": promo_banner
    }

# ⚡ 3. ONE SINGLE LINE at the end of the module:
auto_sync(globals())

# Execution on Pod #2 (Immediately after Pod #1 mutated the state):
status = get_cluster_status()
print("Pod #2 reads:", status)
# Output on Pod #2:
# {'total_revenue': 120, 'total_orders': 1, 'current_promo': 'FLASH_50_OFF'}
# ✓ 0 network code written, 0 decorators, seamless cross-pod consistency!
# ⚡ STEP-BY-STEP SYNCHRONIZATION TIMELINE:

1. [Pod #1 Init] : auto_sync scans bytecode -> Finds globals ['daily_revenue', 'active_orders', 'promo_banner'].
2. [Pod #1 Call] : record_checkout(120) modifies local variables in RAM (0.01 µs).
3. [Pod #1 Push] : auto_sync detects variable changes -> sends atomic MSET to Spedo (< 0.2 ms).
4. [Spedo Core]  : Spedo updates in-memory keyspace and broadcasts invalidation frame.
5. [Pod #2 Call] : get_cluster_status() is invoked on Pod #2.
6. [Pod #2 Pull] : auto_sync pulls updated keys before execution -> globals() populated instantly.
7. [Pod #2 Read] : Function executes reading updated global values seamlessly.
🛡️ Why this approach is revolutionary
  • Zero Risk of Forgetting: No need to maintain @spedo_sync decorators on dozens of functions.
  • Zero Manual Lists: Add 20 new global variables anytime—they are auto-discovered via Python bytecode.
  • Pure & Portable Code: Your business functions remain 100% standard Python with zero intrusive framework imports.

Embedded Mode: SQLite-Like Serverless Architecture (spedo.connect)

Use Spedo exactly like SQLite: run in-process with zero external server daemon, zero TCP port configuration, and 1.9M+ ops/sec in-memory throughput, while unlocking AI vector search, reactive JSON, and lock-free priority queues.

Standard SQLite (sqlite3) Relational B-Tree & File Locks
  • ~80,000 ops/sec maximum in RAM (table/database lock overhead).
  • "database is locked" errors under multi-threaded concurrency.
  • No native AI Vector SIMD (requires complex external C extensions).
  • Cannot scale to multi-server Kubernetes clusters without re-architecture.
Spedo Embedded (spedo.connect) Lock-Free Memory & Seamless Scale
  • 1,900,000+ ops/sec (0.24 μs lock-free in-memory access).
  • Zero Lock contention on concurrent reads and sub-path writes.
  • Built-in AVX2 SIMD Vector Search (0.9 ms in-DB Cosine).
  • 1-Line Switch to Distributed: Change :memory: to host:port anytime.

Distributed Collections: SpedoDict & SpedoList

Work with standard Python dictionaries and lists while all mutations are automatically synchronized in real-time across your cluster pods via Spedo's in-memory engine.

from spedo import SpedoDict

# 1. Instantiate distributed dictionary (backed by Spedo JSON engine)
active_sessions = SpedoDict("active_sessions")

# 2. Write standard dictionary operations naturally
active_sessions["user:101"] = {
    "name": "Alice",
    "role": "admin",
    "cart_items": ["prod_42", "prod_99"]
}

# 3. Check membership & read data
if "user:101" in active_sessions:
    print("Alice is logged in!", active_sessions["user:101"]["role"])

# 4. On Pod #2 (Zero network boilerplate):
# active_sessions["user:101"] reads live updated session state immediately!
from spedo import SpedoList

# 1. Instantiate distributed list
activity_feed = SpedoList("global_audit_feed")

# 2. Standard list operations (append, pop, indexing, iteration)
activity_feed.append({"event": "LOGIN", "user": "alice", "ip": "10.0.0.1"})
activity_feed.append({"event": "CHECKOUT", "amount": 120.0})

print("Feed Length:", len(activity_feed))      # -> 2
print("Latest Event:", activity_feed[-1])       # -> {'event': 'CHECKOUT', 'amount': 120.0}

# 3. Pop oldest or latest items atomically:
oldest = activity_feed.pop(0)                   # FIFO pop

Reactive Pydantic & Dataclass Synchronization (@spedo_model)

Decorate any Dataclass, Pydantic Model, or standard Python class with @spedo_model. Attribute reads pull live state from Spedo, and attribute writes automatically broadcast atomic JSON updates to all connected instances.

python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from spedo import spedo_model

# 1. Decorate your dataclass or Pydantic model:
@spedo_model(key="cluster_runtime_config")
@dataclass
class ClusterRuntimeConfig:
    maintenance_mode: bool = False
    max_concurrent_workers: int = 16
    promo_code: str = "SPRING_2026"
    rate_limit_per_min: int = 500

# 2. Use naturally anywhere on Pod #1:
config = ClusterRuntimeConfig()
print("Current Workers:", config.max_concurrent_workers)

# 3. Mutate fields dynamically on Pod #1 (Admin action):
config.max_concurrent_workers = 64
config.promo_code = "BLACK_FRIDAY_90"
# -> Spedo automatically pushes updates via atomic JSON sub-path!

# 4. On Pod #2 (API Service):
# Any access to `config.max_concurrent_workers` immediately evaluates to 64!

Change Data Capture & Write-Behind SQL

Capture mutations in an ordered in-memory log for SQL synchronization. CDC is disabled by default: enable it in Admin → Observability & Debug (or SPEDO_CDC_ENABLED=true) before starting a consumer. The bounded log is not a backup.

python
# 1. Query raw CDC event stream
events, latest_id = client.cdc_read(last_id=0, count=50)
for ev in events:
    print(f"SEQ #{ev['id']} | OP={ev['op']} | KEY={ev['key']} | VALUE={ev['value']}")

# 2. Automated Write-Behind Worker to PostgreSQL / SQLite / MySQL
def on_database_sync(batch):
    for item in batch:
        if item["key"].startswith("user:") and item["op"] == "SET":
            sql_cursor.execute("INSERT INTO users (id, data) VALUES (%s, %s) ON CONFLICT ... ", (item["key"], item["value"]))
    sql_conn.commit()

# Start background sync worker
worker = client.db_sync_worker(on_mutation=on_database_sync, poll_interval=0.05).start()

# Application writes at full in-memory RAM speed (~0.1ms):
client.set("user:500", '{"name": "Alice"}')
# Worker persists to SQL in the background!

Spedo FairShare 7:2:1 & Workflows

python
# 1. FairShare 7:2:1: weighted batches + FAMILY rotation
# Priorities: 0 (Critical), 1 (Standard), 2 (Batch), rotated by tenant FAMILY
client.qpush("jobs:video_render", "task_4k_intro", priority=0, family="tenant_alpha")
client.qpush("jobs:video_render", "task_thumb", priority=2, family="tenant_beta")

tasks = client.qpop("jobs:video_render", count=10) # 7 Critical / 2 Standard / 1 Batch target

# 2. Distributed Workflow State Machine
task_id = "doc_ocr_882"
client.execute_command("WF.SUBMIT", task_id, "INIT", "tenant_1", "5000", '{"file": "invoice.pdf"}')

# Claim task with a 5000ms lease
claimed = client.execute_command("WF.CLAIM", task_id, "INIT", "5000", "worker_node_1")
if claimed:
    client.execute_command("WF.TRANSITION", task_id, "INIT", "PROCESSING", "worker_node_1")
    client.execute_command("WF.DONE", task_id, "COMPLETED", "worker_node_1", '{"status": "ok"}')

Server-Side Scripting with Rhai (Rust)

Execute safe, memory-sandboxed scripts directly inside Spedo with internal in-memory APIs.

python
# 1. Register a named server-side function
transfer_fn = client.register_function(
    name="transfer_balance",
    script="""
    let from_key = KEYS[0];
    let to_key = KEYS[1];
    let amount = ARGV[0];
    
    let from_val = spedo.get(from_key);
    let bal = if from_val == () { 0 } else { parse_int(from_val) };
    
    if bal >= amount {
        spedo.incr_by(from_key, -amount);
        spedo.incr_by(to_key, amount);
        true
    } else {
        false
    }
    """,
    family="billing"
)

# 2. Execute the registered function
client.set("user:alice:credits", "100")
client.set("user:bob:credits", "20")

success = transfer_fn(keys=["user:alice:credits", "user:bob:credits"], args=[30])
print(success) # Output: True

In-DB AI Recommendation & Vector Retrieval "Zero Network"

In-Memory SIMD Matrix Multiplications & Sub-Millisecond Cosine Embeddings

🚀 40.5× FASTER THAN REDIS + PYTHON

For modern e-commerce recommendation systems and RAG pipelines, ranking thousands of items requires comparing a user query vector against dense embedding matrices. Spedo retains embedding matrices directly in server RAM and executes cosine similarity searches in native Rust SIMD (AVX2 / ARM NEON) in 0.28 ms, with 0 bytes of matrix transferred over the network.

🔍 The Real Problem: Why Traditional Pipelines Collapse

In standard setups (Redis + Python/NumPy/PyTorch compute cluster), every user request forces the application to issue giant MGET commands, pull 10MB+ of dense vector arrays over the TCP wire, deserialize floats inside the Python GIL, and execute NumPy routines.

The physical network barrier: This round-trip saturates Gigabit network interfaces (NICs), spikes P99 latency by 40× (15ms to 80ms), and demands expensive dedicated GPU/CPU inference nodes solely to rank vectors.

What Spedo Does: Bring Compute to the Data (In-Situ SIMD)

Instead of shipping gigabytes of raw data to the application code, Spedo brings computation directly to where the data lives in RAM.

  • Step 1 (Ingestion): Item and document dense embeddings are indexed once in server RAM via VECTOR.ADD.
  • Step 2 (Client Query): The client transmits only its single query prompt or vector (~1 KB instead of 10 MB).
  • Step 3 (In-Situ SIMD Compute): The unrolled Rust engine computes dot products directly on CPU SIMD vector registers (AVX2/NEON) at RAM bus bandwidth (50+ GB/s).
  • Step 4 (Instant Response): Spedo returns the Top-K IDs and scores in 0.28 ms. Zero intermediate inference servers needed!

FinOps: Slash Cloud Cache Bills by 70%

Structural JSON Deduplication (MODEL) + Cold Archive NVMe Tiering

-77% CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE COST

80% of cached keys in e-commerce, banking, or IoT are cold (unaccessed for hours) and filled with repetitive JSON syntax. Redis forces teams to pay for 100% RAM on expensive AWS r6i.32xlarge instances while randomly evicting keys under load. Spedo deduplicates repetitive JSON schemas (MODEL) and transparently archives cold data to local NVMe SSDs with LZ4 compression. 1 Spedo node replaces 4 to 5 Redis instances.

🔍 The Real Problem: Cloud Budget Bleeding & Destructive Evictions

In a 50-million item catalog, every JSON document repeats identical keys: {"product_id":..., "description":..., "currency":..., "created_at":...}. Redis stores these key names millions of times in raw RAM.

The dual financial & operational crisis: To host 500 GB, teams must provision 4 × AWS r6i.4xlarge instances at $3,680/month. When RAM nears 100%, Redis LRU evictions randomly delete 15–20% of keys, triggering cache-miss storms (Thundering Herd) that crash primary SQL databases.

What Spedo Does: High-Density Memory & Zero Evictions

  • 1. Schema Factorization (MODEL): Key names are registered once in a shared global dictionary. Values are stored as lightweight binary tuples (-30% RAM).
  • 2. In-Memory LZ4 Compression: Payloads are compressed on-the-fly with near-zero CPU overhead (< 2 µs), achieving -75.3% overall RAM reduction.
  • 3. Transparent NVMe Tiering (Cold Archive): Instead of destroying inactive keys, Spedo automatically moves them to fast local NVMe storage. 0% destructive eviction, 0 data loss.
  • 4. Adaptive Prefetch: Intelligently anticipates access patterns and warms NVMe keys back into active RAM right before clients request them.

Real-Time Microservices & Auto-Sync "Zero Network Latency"

Reactive L1 In-Process Cache + Automatic Bytecode Synchronization

🚀 534.9× THROUGHPUT SPEEDUP (0.24 µs)

Every modern microservice evaluates 2 to 5 state variables per HTTP request (feature flags, maintenance switches, fraud limits, dynamic discounts). Remote TCP calls add 1.5ms to 3ms of cumulative latency and saturate NICs with redundant packets. Spedo eliminates the network wire entirely on reads via in-process L1 reactive state (SpedoLiveVar) and synchronizes standard Python global variables automatically via auto_sync(globals()).

🔍 The Real Problem: The Physical Microservices Network Barrier

In a 50-pod Kubernetes cluster, polling Redis for flag checks incurs 50 µs to 150 µs of physical network wire transit per call. Across deep microservice chains, these repeated hops inflate latency into multiple milliseconds.

If developers introduce ad-hoc in-memory TTL caches (e.g. 30s), pods desynchronize and serve stale business rules for 30 seconds following a critical operational change.

What Spedo Does: L1 In-Process Cache + Instant Push + auto_sync

  • 1. Instant Local RAM Reads (0.24 µs): Reads occur directly in application process memory. 0 network packets emitted, 1.9M+ operations/sec.
  • Step 3 (auto_sync): Zero Decorators & Zero Manual Lists with auto_sync(globals()). Spedo inspects the bytecode, detects mutations, and synchronizes the cluster transparently.

5-Stage Streaming Pipelines: Pure Spedo (Zero Kafka) & Hybrid Claim-Check

🔍 The Real Problem: Fat Kafka Payloads & Serialization CPU Bottlenecks

In standard microservices pipelines (Ingestion → AI Fraud Check → Limit Validation → Priority Routing → Settlement), each worker consumes and republishes the entire heavy JSON payload (50 KB – 500 KB) through Kafka.

The dual crisis: 5 stages × 50 KB = 250 KB network & disk traffic per transaction on Kafka brokers, plus 10 CPU-intensive JSON parse/serialize operations, slow NumPy vector scans, and heavy broker clustering costs.

Spedo's 2 High-Performance Streaming Solutions

  • 💎 Option A · 100% Pure Spedo All-in-One (ZERO Kafka): Eliminate Kafka entirely. Spedo acts as the unified storage, vector database, and native Fair Priority Queue engine (QPUSH/QPOP). 0 Kafka brokers, 0.5s latency, 390 tx/s (9.4× faster).
  • Option B · Hybrid Claim-Check (with Existing Kafka): Keep your external Kafka broker for ingress, but transmit only 64-byte claim tickets. Reduces Kafka wire traffic by 70.9× (47 KB vs 3.3 MB).
  • In-DB SIMD AI Vector Fraud Check: Step 2 runs VECTOR.SEARCH in 0.9 ms directly inside Spedo (vs 43 ms in Python NumPy).
  • 🎯 Zero JSON Parsing Overhead: Workers update sub-paths in Spedo RAM atomically (tx.fraud_score = 0.012) with zero full-document serialization.

Sub-Millisecond Web & Documentation Acceleration (< 0.2ms)

Zero-Copy In-Memory Page Cache + Strict Administrative Isolation

🚀 46.6× FASTER PAGE DELIVERY (0.18 ms)

Public documentation guides, product catalogs, and marketing pages often incur heavy file system I/O, regex-based Markdown parsing, and template engine evaluation on every HTTP hit. Spedo In-Memory Edge Caching intercepts dynamic page requests at the web gateway (ASGI/FastAPI/Uvicorn), returning pre-rendered HTML straight from Spedo's memory runtime (portal:cache:page:*) in 140µs to 200µs (X-Cache: HIT-SPEDO), while strictly isolating private administrative endpoints.

🔍 The Real Problem: Server-Side Rendering (SSR) CPU & Disk Saturation

When sudden traffic surges hit (Hacker News front page, tech community launches, viral posts), web workers repeatedly read static files from disk and execute CPU-heavy Markdown conversion and Jinja2/HTML rendering.

The crisis: Server latencies climb from 5ms to 80ms+, worker process pools saturate at 100% CPU, and downstream users experience 504 Gateway Timeouts even though 99% of requests are requesting identical, read-only documentation pages.

Spedo's In-Memory Gateway Solution

  • Sub-Millisecond Delivery (< 0.2ms): Pre-rendered HTML is served directly from Spedo's zero-copy memory runtime on port 6380 in 140µs to 200µs.
  • 🛡️ 100% CPU & Disk Offload: On cache hits, zero Markdown parsing, zero template rendering, and zero disk reads occur on application workers.
  • 🔒 Strict Security Boundary: Administrative routes (/admin*, /control*, /api/admin/*), metrics, and authenticated sessions are strictly bypassed (X-Cache: BYPASS-ADMIN).
  • 🧹 Instant Operator Cache Purge: Single-click flush from the Admin Control Center UI or authenticated REST API (POST /api/admin/cache/purge) with zero server restarts.

Study 1 : Rebuildable Catalog / API Cache

Safe Cache-Aside Architecture: The primary SQL database or upstream API remains the single durable source of truth; Spedo stores fast, bounded-TTL derived copies (45s). If an entry is evicted or the Spedo cluster is restarted, the application reads the primary SQL source and rebuilds the cache in-memory with zero business data loss.

python (standard library, zero external dependencies)
# Execute official study script:
python3 examples/use_case_rebuildable_cache.py

# Output:
1. Cache miss  -> source read, entry cached : 129.00 EUR (TTL: 45s)
2. Cache hit   -> same product, zero source read (0ms)
3. Simulated eviction -> primary source rebuilds cache without business loss
4. Price modified -> targeted invalidation, cache refreshed to 119.00 EUR
✓ VALIDATED : 2 hits, 3 misses, 3 writes, 3 targeted deletions.

Study 2 : Rebuildable Semantic & Embeddings Cache

LLM Inference Cost Optimization: Dense embeddings of recurring prompts are stored in RAM. Incoming user queries are matched via cosine similarity (VECTOR.SEARCH) in 0.28 ms. If an equivalent question was previously asked, the cached response is served immediately, eliminating up to 90% of recurring LLM API costs (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral).

python (standard library, zero external dependencies)
# Execute official study script:
python3 examples/rebuildable_semantic_cache.py

# Output:
✓ Spedo answers PING
✓ Cache rebuilt : 4 prompts/responses indexed
Prompt : Name France's capital city.
Top results :
  - france-capital: similarity 0.998908 (P50: 0.28ms)
✓ Cache hit : Paris is the capital city of France. (0 LLM API calls required!)

Study 3 : Transient Idempotent Job Accelerator with SQLite Outbox

Acceleration Without Compromising Durability: Spedo fair priority queues (QPUSH/QPOP) serve as an ultra-fast in-memory transit accelerator, backed by a persistent Transactional Outbox SQL table (PostgreSQL or SQLite). If a worker process crashes immediately after popping a task, the lost job is safely re-dispatched from the pending SQL outbox, and transactional idempotency prevents duplicate execution of business effects.

python (standard library, zero external dependencies)
# Execute official study script:
python3 examples/transient_idempotent_job_accelerator.py

# Output:
1. Simulated worker crash after QPOP: transient copy disappears; SQLite row stays 'PENDING'.
2. Recovery routine re-dispatches all pending rows, including the lost job.
3. A duplicate delivery is intentionally injected to test idempotency.
4. Worker processed 4 deliveries: 3 business effects created, 1 duplicate safely ignored.
✓ VALIDATED: 3 durable outbox records produced exactly 3 local effects despite worker crash!
