LSM-TREE
HYPER-PULSE
DATA PIPELINE
Velocity utilizes a proprietary Log-Structured Merge-Tree adaptation optimized for RDMA-capable networking and AVX-512 SIMD processing.
MEMTABLE STAGING
Incoming writes are buffered in highly concurrent skip-lists for O(1) ingestion.
WAL (AOF PERSISTENCE)
Hyper-fast append-only logging ensures zero data loss during memory power cycles.
BACKGROUND COMPACTION
Adaptive merging of SSTables keeps read-amplification at historical lows.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
Low-level optimization targeting modern server hardware. Velocity is built to be the single source of truth for high-concurrency event data.
Custom Binary Protocol
No HTTP overhead. Direct socket communication using V-Proto binary frames.
Atomic Batching
Pipeline multiple commands in a single network round-trip for maximum efficiency.
Cluster Awareness
Native gossip-based replication and auto-sharding topology built-in.
Scoped Auth
Database-level API key isolation and granular row-level policy enforcement.
PROJECT PHASE: EARLY ALPHA
VelocityDB is currently in its aggressive research and development phase. The storage engine and network protocols may undergo breaking changes weekly. **We strongly advise against using Velocity Cloud for financial data or mission-critical systems at this time.**
