Decision brief
What it does—and where it fits
This document covers data volume scaling scenarios, where the total size of the dataset exceeds the capacity of a single node.
Not for
- Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
- Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.

Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

Tenant Scaling
If the use case is multi-tenant, meaning that each user only has access to a subset of the data, and we never need to query across all the data, then we can use multi-tenancy patterns to scale.
If the use case is multi-tenant, meaning that each user only has access to a subset of the data, and we never need to query across all the data, then we can use multi-tenancy patterns to scale.The recommended way is to use multi-tenant workloads with payload partitioning, per-tenant indexes, and tiered multitenancy.Learn more Tenant Scaling - 02
Sliding Time Window
Some use-cases are based on a sliding time window, where only the most recent data is relevant. For example an index for social media posts, where only the last 6 months of data require fast search.

Global Search
Most general use-cases require global search across all data. In these situations, we might need to fall back to vertical scaling, and then horizontal scaling when we reach the limits of vertical scaling.

No configured static risk pattern was detected
This is not proof of safety. Runtime behavior, indirect dependencies, and hidden external systems are outside the static scan.

Horizontal Scaling
When a single node can't hold the data even with quantization and mmap, distribute data across multiple nodes via sharding.
