  As a longtime Raft user (via hashicorp/raft), I'm curious about your Raft implementation! You mention etcd's Raft library, but it isn't natively Multi-Raft is it? Is your implementation similar to https://tikv.org/deep-dive/scalability/multi-raft/ ? I'd love to hear about your experience implementing and testing it!

  Of course the two most visionary people I worked with at Lytics went and built this. Just in time... this is the vector database I actually need. Termite is the killer feature for me, native ML inference in a single binary means I can stop duct-taping together embedding APIs for my projects. Excited to spend the upcoming weekends hacking on the Antfly ecosystem.

  Interesting project.I’ve got a project right now, separate vector DB, Elasticsearch, graph store, all for an agent system.When you say Antfly combines all three, what does that actually look like at query time? Can I write one query that does semantic similarity + full-text + graph traversal together, or is it more like three separate indexes that happen to live in the same binary?Does it ship with a CLI that's actually good? I’m pivoting away from MCP. Like can I pipe stuff in, run queries, manage indexes from the terminal without needing to write a client? That matters more to me than the MCP server honestly.And re: Termite + single binary, is the idea that I can just run `antfly swarm`, throw docs and images at it, and have a working local RAG setup with no API keys? If so, that might save me a lot of docker-compose work.Who's actually running this distributed vs. single-node? Curious what the typical user experience looks like.

  This is very interesting! I noticed that your TypeScript SDK link results in a 404: https://antfly.io/docs/sdks -> https://github.com/antflydb/antfly-ts

  Can you help me understand what type of practical features Graph Traversal unlocks?I've seen it on a few products and it doesn't click with me how people are using it.

  in the query_test.go, I don’t see how the hybrid search is being exercised.For fun I am making hybrid search too and would love to see how you merge the two list (semantic and keyword) and rerank the importance score.

  Was thinking to create something similar, well done!

  This looks sick!Did you build this for yourself?
