Project Roadmap

This page summarizes direction, not a binding delivery schedule. Issues and milestones are the source of truth for committed work.

Current: v0.1.x

• Stabilize CLI behavior and error reporting.
• Improve malformed-input handling.
• Expand platform validation.
• Clarify .snout compatibility guarantees.
• Improve documentation and reproducible benchmarks.

Next: v0.2.0

• Evaluate chunk-level query skipping using stored min/max statistics.
• Improve query and aggregation performance.
• Expand transformations and log workflows where justified by real use cases.
• Harden the experimental C ABI.
• Improve release portability.

Toward v1.0.0

• Define stable CLI and output contracts.
• Define the supported .snout compatibility policy.
• Stabilize the C ABI.
• Establish reproducible performance baselines.
• Validate supported operating systems and architectures.
• Complete migration documentation for breaking changes.

Explicitly Out of Scope

SnoutDB does not currently aim to become:

• a distributed database;
• a network database server;
• a SQL compatibility layer;
• an ORM;
• a general-purpose transactional database.
