> **सूत्र (Sūtra)**: *An aphorism or thread of knowledge designed to hold vast wisdom in the most concise, unbreakable form.*

**SutraDB** is an ultra-fast, zero-dependency hybrid vector search and BM25 lexical engine engineered in pure Python. It combines SIMD-accelerated linear algebra with Robertson-Spärck Jones BM25 ranking and in-flight compound metadata filtering.

Designed specifically for the 95% of AI applications (local RAG, agent memory, enterprise document search, catalog matching) that need sub-millisecond retrieval without the multi-gigabyte dependency trees of Chroma or the network latency of cloud-managed vector databases.

## ⚡ Key Highlights

* **Pure SIMD / BLAS Velocity:** Pre-normalizes vectors at insertion time so Cosine Similarity reduces to a single GEMV matrix-vector multiplication executed in L1 cache lines.
* **Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF):** Dense embeddings understand semantic intent; BM25 matches exact serial numbers, error codes, and technical jargon. SutraDB dynamically fuses both ranking signals via RRF.
* **Single-Stage In-Flight Predicate Masking:** Zero subset memory allocations. Evaluates complex JSON conditions (`$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$contains`, `$and`, `$or`) into high-speed bitmasks in under $30\mu\text{s}$.
* **Zero-Copy Memory-Mapped Persistence:** Custom `.sutra` 64-byte aligned binary format allows near-instant cold starts via `mmap`, backed by an append-only CRC32 Write-Ahead Log (WAL) for durability.
* **Embedded HTTP REST Micro-server:** Built-in zero-dependency server exposes `/health`, `/collections`, `/insert`, and `/query` endpoints for microservice architectures.

## 🚀 Quickstart

### 1. Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Sam-CodesAI/SutraDB.git
cd SutraDB
pip install -e .
```

### 2. Basic Usage (Python SDK)

```python
from sutradb import SutraDB, Document

# Initialize SutraDB with disk persistence
db = SutraDB(persist_directory="./sutra_data")

# Create or load collection
collection = db.get_or_create_collection(name="kb", dimension=4, metric="cosine")

# Insert documents
collection.insert([
    Document(
        id="doc_1",
        vector=[0.95, 0.05, 0.10, 0.00],
        text="Deploying containerized microservices to Kubernetes",
        metadata={"category": "devops", "tier": "internal"}
    ),
    Document(
        id="doc_2",
        vector=[0.02, 0.98, 0.05, 0.01],
        text="PostgreSQL connection pooling and pgbouncer tuning",
        metadata={"category": "database", "tier": "public"}
    )
])

# Hybrid query combining semantic vector + text keywords + metadata filter
results = collection.query(
    vector=[1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    text="Kubernetes microservices",
    filter={"tier": "internal"},
    top_k=5,
    hybrid=True
)

for r in results:
    print(f"[{r.score:.4f}] {r.id}: {r.text}")
```

## 🌐 Running as an HTTP Microservice

Start the built-in HTTP server:

```bash
python3 -m sutradb.server 8765
```

Query via `curl`:

```bash
# Health check
curl http://localhost:8765/health

# Insert documents
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/collections/demo/insert \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"documents": [{"id": "d1", "vector": [1,0,0], "text": "Sample", "metadata": {"tag": "ai"}}]}'

# Hybrid search
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/collections/demo/query \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"vector": [1,0,0], "text": "Sample", "filter": {"tag": "ai"}, "top_k": 5}'
```
