Not an optimizer—a control plane for learning systems. +**Make your queries faster automatically.** RuVector DAG learns from every query execution and continuously optimizes performance—no manual tuning required. + +## What is This? + +RuVector DAG is a **self-learning query optimization system**. Think of it as a "nervous system" for your database queries that: + +1. **Watches** how queries execute and identifies bottlenecks +2. **Learns** which optimization strategies work best for different query patterns +3. **Adapts** in real-time, switching strategies when conditions change +4. **Heals** itself by detecting anomalies and fixing problems before they impact users + +Unlike traditional query optimizers that use static rules, RuVector DAG learns from actual execution patterns and gets smarter over time. + +## Who Should Use This? + +| Use Case | Why RuVector DAG Helps | +|----------|------------------------| +| **Vector Search Applications** | Optimize similarity searches that traditional databases struggle with | +| **High-Traffic APIs** | Automatically adapt to changing query patterns throughout the day | +| **Real-Time Analytics** | Learn which aggregation paths are fastest for your specific data | +| **Edge/Embedded Systems** | 58KB WASM build runs in browsers and IoT devices | +| **Multi-Tenant Platforms** | Learn per-tenant query patterns without manual per-tenant tuning | + +## Key Benefits + +### Automatic Performance Improvement +Queries get faster over time without any code changes. In benchmarks, repeated queries show **50-80% latency reduction** after the system learns optimal execution paths. + +### Zero-Downtime Adaptation +When query patterns change (new features, traffic spikes, data growth), the system adapts automatically. No need to rebuild indexes or rewrite queries. + +### Predictive Problem Prevention +The system detects rising "tension" (early warning signs of bottlenecks) and intervenes *before* users experience slowdowns. + +### Works Everywhere +- **PostgreSQL** via the ruvector-postgres extension +- **Browsers** via 58KB WASM module +- **Embedded systems** with minimal memory footprint +- **Distributed systems** with quantum-resistant sync between nodes + +## How It Works (Simple Version) + +``` +Query comes in → DAG analyzes execution plan → Best attention mechanism selected + ↓ +Query executes → Results returned → Learning system records what worked + ↓ + Next similar query benefits from learned optimizations +``` + +The system maintains a "MinCut tension" score that acts as a health indicator. When tension rises, the system automatically switches to more aggressive optimization strategies and triggers predictive healing. ## Features
