• Graceful error recovery prevents cascading failures
• Secure HTTP header handling prevents injection vulnerabilities
• Audit logging for security events

Production Hardening

• Rate limiting enabled by default
• HTTPS/TLS support in REST API
• Configurable access control
• Comprehensive audit trail

See: SECURITY_HARDENING.md

🔄 Upgrade Guide

From v2.6.0 to v3.0.0

Breaking Changes:

• None for embedded API (backward compatible)
• Some REST API endpoints temporarily disabled (schema, agents, documents)
• These will be re-enabled in v3.0.1 with updated type system

Migration Steps:

# 1. Backup your data
cp -r ./data ./data-backup-v2.6.0

# 2. Update binary/dependency
cargo update heliosdb-nano --version 3.0.0

# 3. Rebuild your application
cargo build --release

# 4. Run your application
./target/release/myapp

No database migration needed - data format is compatible.

⚠️ Known Limitations

Temporarily Disabled Endpoints (v3.0.1)

• POST /agents/* - Agent management endpoints
• POST /documents/* - Document management endpoints
• POST /schema/* - Schema inference endpoints

Reason: Type system alignment needed Timeline: v3.0.1 (December 2025) Workaround: Use direct database API

Production Considerations

• Single-writer limitation (by design)
• No built-in authentication (implement at app layer)
• No native data masking (implement at app layer)

See: V3.0.0_KNOWN_ISSUES.md

📈 Performance Benchmarks

Query Performance

• Typical query latency: < 10ms (p50)
• Worst-case latency: < 100ms (p99)
• Max throughput: 10,000+ QPS

Vector Search Performance

• HNSW index build: ~100K vectors/second
• Vector search: ~1,000 vectors/millisecond
• SIMD optimization: 4-8x faster than baseline

Storage Efficiency

• Compression ratio: 40-60% (ALP/FSST)
• WAL overhead: ~5% of data size
• Index overhead: ~15% of data size

🤝 Getting Started

Installation

Rust:

cargo install heliosdb-nano --version 3.0.0

Python:

pip install heliosdb-nano==3.0.0

TypeScript:

npm install heliosdb-nano@3.0.0

Quick Start

use heliosdb_nano::HeliosDB;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Create/open database
    let db = HeliosDB::new("./data")?;

    // Create table
    db.execute("
        CREATE TABLE users (
            id INT PRIMARY KEY,
            name TEXT,
            email TEXT
        )
    ")?;

    // Insert data
    db.execute("INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'Alice', 'alice@example.com')")?;

    // Query data
    let rows = db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1")?;
    println!("{:?}", rows);

    Ok(())
}
