VSKI

VSKI is a high-performance, lightweight backend engine designed for modern applications requiring real-time synchronization and complex distributed workflows. It provides a multi-tenant environment using SQLite3 with a focus on simplicity, scalability, and security.

VSKI can easily replace PostgreSQL or other traditional RDMS for the most backend related tasks. It provides a server layer on top of SQLite3 ensuring access control, proper concurrent access, ACID, and hight-speed database i/o.

Features

• Multi-Tenant SQLite: Automatic management of multiple isolated database files
• Dynamic Schema: Flexible collection-based data management with runtime schema enforcement
• Real-time Engine: Integrated WebSocket gateway for instantaneous data broadcasting via pub/sub architecture
• Distributed Workflows: Persistent, stateful workflow orchestration with WebSocket-based workers
• Rule-based Security: Granular access control using a custom rule engine that synthesizes SQL WHERE clauses
• Embedded Search: First-class support for Full-Text Search (FTS5) and Vector similarity search (sqlite-vec)
• Standalone Binary: Single binary with embedded web frontend - no separate frontend server needed
• Docker Support: Official Docker Images
