Roadmap

The DataVo roadmap is deliberately conservative. The goal is not to promise every database feature. The near-term work is to stabilize the embedded API, storage format, NuGet packaging, and public documentation.

The current foundation is the embedded API. That is where DataVo should remain strongest: predictable local storage, clear configuration, and fast hot paths for application-owned workloads.

using var db = new DataVoContext(new DataVoConfig
{
    StorageMode = StorageMode.Lsm,
    DiskStoragePath = "./app_data",
    LsmStrictFsync = true
});

The roadmap focuses on stabilizing the embedded API, storage format, and packaging. A developer should be able to install the right packages, run a quickstart, and understand which parts of the alpha are safe to evaluate.

dotnet add package DataVo.Core
dotnet add package DataVo.EntityFrameworkCore
dotnet add package DataVo.Generators

The SQL roadmap is about clarity before breadth. DataVo should keep adding coverage, but every new claim needs examples and tests. Unsupported SQL should fail clearly instead of looking half-supported.

CREATE TABLE Tasks (
  Id INT PRIMARY KEY,
  Title VARCHAR(120),
  Done BIT
);

CREATE INDEX ix_tasks_done ON Tasks (Done);

SELECT Id, Title
FROM Tasks
WHERE Done = false
ORDER BY Id ASC
LIMIT 50;

The tooling roadmap is separate. Developers will eventually want to inspect DataVo databases through DBeaver, DataGrip, or pgAdmin. That requires a DataVo.Server process and enough PostgreSQL-wire compatibility to connect, list tables, and run simple queries. That work is valuable, but it should not distract from stabilizing the embedded engine.

Application process
  -> DataVoContext
  -> embedded storage

Future tooling process
  -> DataVo.Server
  -> PostgreSQL wire protocol subset
  -> embedded storage

Roadmap Summary

Feature	Status	Notes
Curated public documentation	Supported	The v0.1 manual and AI export expose only public launch docs.
Core embedded API	Supported	DataVoContext remains the primary interface.
Vector search	Supported	HNSW, FLAT, cosine distance, and L2 distance are documented.
NuGet packages	Supported	Preview packages (DataVo.Core, .Data, .EntityFrameworkCore, .Generators) are published to nuget.org via CI Trusted Publishing on version tags.
SQL compatibility expansion	Planned	New SQL coverage should come with tests and explicit docs.
Storage-format stability	Planned	Requires compatibility tests and migration guidance.
PostgreSQL-wire tooling bridge	Planned	Future work for DBeaver/DataGrip/pgAdmin style browsing.
EF Core migrations	Not Supported	Requires provider services beyond the current bridge.
Replication and high availability	Not Supported	Out of scope for the embedded v0.1 engine.
