• Runs on Small Hardware

  Designed for Raspberry Pis, NUCs, and old laptops. Not a cloud system squeezed onto small hardware, but a system built for resource-constrained devices that scales to the cloud.

• Zero-Configuration Multi-Node

  Add a node by pointing it at the same storage bucket. No seed nodes, no tokens, no mesh network setup. Nodes discover each other through the storage layer.

• Biology-Driven Design

  Memory budgets, cell sizing, backpressure, and failure recovery are governed by bee-inspired behavioral algorithms. Mason bee isolation, leafcutter sizing, and colony temperature are not metaphors but runtime mechanisms.

• SQL + Python

  Query with Apache DataFusion SQL, write with Python. Apache Arrow provides zero-copy interop between the Rust engine and the Python SDK.

• Object Storage as Truth

  All data lives in S3, MinIO, GCS, or local filesystem. Nodes are stateless workers. Lose a node and lose nothing. The bucket is the complete system of record.

• ACID Transactions

  Ledger-based transactions using conditional writes, inspired by Delta Lake. No Raft, no consensus protocol. The storage layer provides the atomic compare-and-swap.
