Roadmap: Toward Zvec 1.0
Author: zhourrrCreated Apr 3, 2026Updated Sep 7, 2026
This issue tracks the high-level roadmap and upcoming features for Zvec. Our focus for the next major iterations is on storage scalability, mobile ecosystem maturity, and deeper integration with the AI landscape.
Platform & Ecosystem Expansion
- Full Mobile Support: Complete iOS compilation support and provide idiomatic SDKs for both Android and iOS with comprehensive examples.
- Broader Language Bindings: Expand SDK capabilities to include Go, Rust, and Dart (Flutter).
- Framework Integration: Broaden support for RAG/Memory ecosystems and extend AI extensions to include more embedding models and ETL pipelines.
- Database Extensions: Explore integration with embedded databases such as SQLite and DuckDB.
Storage & Resource Management
- Disk-Based Indexing: Implementation of DiskANN-inspired algorithms to support datasets exceeding RAM capacity.
- RabitQ Enhancements: Further optimization of quantization logic for better accuracy-efficiency trade-offs.
- Memory Governance: Introduce strict memory limits and constraints during the
CreateIndexprocess to ensure system stability in resource-constrained environments.
⚙️ Feature & Performance Engineering
- Full-Text Search: Introduce keyword search capabilities alongside vector retrieval.
- Optimization Pipeline: Refine the
Optimizeworkflow and improve write throughput for high-concurrency scenarios. - ARM-Specific Tuning: Dedicated performance profiling and optimization for ARM-based architectures (mobile and Graviton).
- Benchmarking: Consistent participation in ANN-Benchmarks to track performance parity with industry-leading libraries.
️ Stability & Quality Assurance
- Testing Coverage: Continuous expansion of API integration tests and code coverage.
- Regression Efficiency: Enhance CI/CD pipelines for faster and more reliable regression testing.
