Components Overview
Learn how sovseal's zero-config local stack provides high-performance, private vector search and state continuity out of the box.
Unlike traditional vector memory solutions that require you to configure, coordinate, and secure a complex matrix of third-party APIs (including external LLMs, cloud vector stores, and custom KMS systems), sovseal ships with a pre-configured, highly optimized fixed local stack.
This local-first architecture works entirely on-device, meaning you get zero connection latency (0 RTT) and cryptographic privacy by construction right out of the box.
The Zero-Config Advantage:
- No API keys or signup required for embeddings or database hosting.
- Sub-10ms queries (6.1ms warm recall p50) running entirely on CPU.
- Client-side encryption (AES-256-GCM) secures your snapshot states before background replication.
Core Architecture Stack
The sovseal runtime is built on three optimized components:
| Component Layer | Default Technology | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Local Embedder | ONNX Quantized + Transformers.js | On-device, 384-dim vector generation. CPU-bound and cached locally. |
| Local Vector Store | Serverless LanceDB | Serverless, zero connection overhead, fast flat and ANN search on disk. |
| Security Primitive | Client-Side AES-256-GCM | Encrypts local state snapshots using locally generated 256-bit keys. |
