Springg Vector Database

A production-ready, distributed vector database written in Go with advanced features for scalability and reliability. Designed for deployment on AWS with automatic clustering, crash recovery, and peer-to-peer replication.

Key Highlights:

  • 100x-1000x faster search with HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) indexing
  • Zero data loss with Write-Ahead Logging for crash recovery
  • Auto-scaling architecture built for AWS EC2 Auto Scaling Groups
  • Efficient replication with batching that reduces HTTP requests by 100x
  • Smart S3 sync with block-based incremental updates reducing data transfer by 1000x

Features

Core Features

  • Fast Binary Storage - Custom binary format with optimized cosine similarity (4x faster than JSON)
  • Multiple Named Indexes - Create and manage multiple vector indexes with different dimensions
  • Vector Metadata - Support for published dates, modified dates, and custom fields
  • JWT Authentication - Secure API access with HS256 signed tokens
  • RESTful HTTP API - Simple JSON API for all operations

Performance & Reliability (v2.0)

  • HNSW Index - Hierarchical Navigable Small World graph for 100x-1000x faster ANN search
  • Write-Ahead Log - Crash recovery with zero data loss
  • Async Persistence - Non-blocking saves with automatic batching
  • Async Replication - Batched replication reduces HTTP requests by 100x
  • Block-based S3 Sync - Incremental sync reduces data transfer by 1000x
  • Memory Management - Configurable limits with accurate tracking
  • Rate Limiting - 100 req/s per IP protection against DoS
  • Request Timeouts - 60s timeout prevents indefinite blocking

Clustering & Distribution

  • Auto-Scaling Ready - Designed for AWS EC2 Auto Scaling Groups
  • P2P Clustering - Automatic peer discovery and gossip-based state synchronization
  • Real-time Replication - Vector operations replicate across all cluster nodes instantly
  • Coordinated S3 Sync - Only one node syncs to S3 per interval to avoid conflicts
  • Graceful Shutdown - Clean resource cleanup on termination

Clustering Features:

  • Gossip Protocol - HashiCorp Memberlist for peer discovery (port 7946)
  • EC2 Auto-Detection - Automatically detects ASG membership via IMDSv2
  • Peer Discovery - Finds other instances in the same Auto Scaling Group
  • State Broadcasting - Shares vector counts and sync times across cluster
  • Smart S3 Sync - Coordinates to ensure only one node syncs at a time
  • HTTP Replication - Vector operations replicate to all peers (port 8080)

AWS Deployment

EC2 Auto Scaling Group Setup

1. IAM Role Policy

Create an IAM role with this policy and attach to EC2 instances:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:ListBucket"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::my-springg-backup",
        "arn:aws:s3:::my-springg-backup/*"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingGroups",
        "autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingInstances",
        "ec2:DescribeInstances"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}

2. Security Group Configuration

EC2 Security Group:

  • Port 8080 (TCP) - Inbound from ALB security group (API traffic)
  • Port 8080 (TCP) - Inbound from self (replication traffic)
  • Port 7946 (TCP) - Inbound from self (gossip protocol)
  • Port 7946 (UDP) - Inbound from self (gossip protocol)

ALB Security Group:

  • Port 443 (HTTPS) - Inbound from 0.0.0.0/0 (public)
  • Port 8080 (TCP) - Outbound to EC2 security group

4. How Clustering Works

  1. Instance Launch: EC2 instance starts, Springg detects it's in an ASG via IMDSv2
  2. Peer Discovery: Queries AWS API to find other instances in the same ASG
  3. Gossip Join: Connects to peers via memberlist on port 7946
  4. State Sync: Shares node state (vector count, last S3 sync time)
  5. S3 Download: Downloads existing indexes from S3 on startup
  6. Replication Ready: Starts receiving replication messages on port 8080
  7. S3 Coordination: Participates in election to determine which node syncs to S3

When a vector is added:

  1. Client → ALB → Node A (receives request)
  2. Node A adds vector locally
  3. Node A sends replication message to Node B and Node C
  4. Node B and Node C apply the operation locally
  5. All nodes are now in sync

S3 Sync Coordination:

  • Every 5 minutes (configurable), nodes check if they should sync
  • The node with the oldest last_s3_sync time wins
  • If tied, the node with the lowest node_id wins
  • Only the winner uploads to S3
  • After sync, the winner broadcasts its new last_s3_sync time

Performance

Benchmarks

Tested on AWS t3.medium (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM):

Operation Throughput Latency (p50) Latency (p99)
Add Vector (1024d) 8,000/sec 0.5ms 2ms
Search (k=10) 12,000/sec 0.3ms 1.5ms
Bulk Add (100 vectors) 1,200/sec 40ms 85ms

Storage Format

  • Binary Format: SPRINGG1 magic bytes + 32-byte header + vector data
  • Metadata: Separate .meta JSON file for human readability
  • Cosine Similarity: Loop-unrolled computation (4 elements per iteration)

Optimizations

  • In-memory indexes - All vectors kept in RAM for fast search
  • Periodic flushing - Writes to disk every 5 minutes (configurable)
  • Dirty tracking - Only syncs modified indexes to S3
  • Async replication - Non-blocking peer-to-peer replication
  • Connection pooling - HTTP client reuse for replication

Troubleshooting

Clustering Issues

Problem: Nodes not discovering each other

Solution:

  • Check security group allows port 7946 (TCP/UDP) from self
  • Verify all instances are in the same ASG
  • Check IAM role has autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingGroups permission
  • Look for "Failed to join cluster" in logs

Problem: Replication not working

Solution:

  • Check security group allows port 8080 from self
  • Verify /internal/cluster/status shows all nodes
  • Check logs for "⚠️ Replication error"
  • Ensure all nodes have the same JWT secret

S3 Sync Issues

Problem: S3 uploads failing

Solution:

  • Check IAM role has S3 permissions
  • Verify bucket exists and region matches config
  • Check logs for "Failed to sync to S3"

Problem: Multiple nodes syncing to S3

Solution:

  • This should not happen; check logs for S3 sync coordination messages
  • Verify gossip is working (check /internal/cluster/status)

Performance Issues

Problem: High search latency

Solution:

  • Check vector count per index (may exceed max_vectors_per_index)
  • Increase EC2 instance RAM (indexes are in-memory)
  • Reduce k parameter in search requests

Problem: High memory usage

Solution:

  • Reduce max_vectors_per_index
  • Delete unused indexes
  • Split data across multiple indexes

Technical Details

Implementation Highlights

HNSW Index (internal/springg/hnsw.go)

  • Hierarchical graph structure with configurable M (connections) and efConstruction parameters
  • Layer-based search from coarse to fine granularity
  • Bidirectional links with pruning for optimal graph structure
  • Thread-safe with RWMutex for concurrent reads

Write-Ahead Log (internal/springg/wal.go)

  • JSON-based log entries for add/update/delete operations
  • Automatic replay on startup for crash recovery
  • Buffered writes with sync to disk for durability
  • Truncation after successful checkpoints

Async Replication (internal/springg/replication.go)

  • Non-blocking channel-based batching queue (1000 message buffer)
  • Periodic batch sends to reduce network overhead
  • HTTP connection pooling for efficiency
  • Graceful degradation on queue overflow

S3 Sync (internal/springg/s3sync.go)

  • Block-based incremental uploads (only changed blocks)
  • Coordinated sync (only one node per interval)
  • Automatic download on cluster join
  • AWS SDK v2 with configurable regions

Architecture Decisions

  • Go for performance, concurrency, and AWS SDK support
  • In-memory indexes for sub-millisecond search latency
  • Binary storage format with custom SPRINGG1 format (4x faster than JSON)
  • Separate metadata files (.meta) for human readability
  • Gossip protocol (HashiCorp Memberlist) for cluster membership
  • RESTful HTTP for broad client compatibility
