## Component Architecture

### 1. Ingestion Pipeline

**Responsibility**: Pull system memories from cloud storage and ingest into Akosha

**Key Components**:

- `IngestionWorker` - Polls S3/R2 for new uploads
- `SystemMemoryUploadManifest` - Pydantic validation schema
- `Orchestrator` - Multi-worker coordinator

**Data Flow**:

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant SB as Session-Buddy
    participant S3 as S3/R2
    participant Worker as IngestionWorker
    participant Hot as HotStore

    SB->>S3: Upload memory.db
    Worker->>S3: List systems/ (poll every 30s)
    S3-->>Worker: Return upload manifests
    Worker->>S3: Download manifest.json
    Worker->>Worker: Validate manifest (Pydantic)
    Worker->>S3: Download memory database
    Worker->>Hot: Insert conversations
    Worker->>S3: Delete uploaded file (optional)
```

**Key Files**:

- `akosha/ingestion/worker.py` - Main worker implementation
- `akosha/models/schemas.py` - Validation schemas
- `akosha/ingestion/orchestrator.py` - Multi-worker coordinator

### 2. Three-Tier Storage Architecture

#### Hot Tier (0-7 days)

**Technology**: DuckDB in-memory + Redis cache

**Purpose**: Real-time search, recent analytics

**Characteristics**:

- Full embeddings (FLOAT[384])
- Sub-100ms latency
- All conversation content
- High memory footprint

**Schema**:

```sql
CREATE TABLE conversations (
    system_id VARCHAR,
    conversation_id VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY,
    content TEXT,
    embedding FLOAT[384],
    timestamp TIMESTAMP,
    metadata JSON,
    content_hash VARCHAR,
    uploaded_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
);

-- HNSW vector index for fast search
CREATE INDEX embedding_hnsw_index
ON conversations USING HNSW (embedding)
WITH (m = 16, ef_construction = 200);

-- Filter indexes
CREATE INDEX system_id_index ON conversations (system_id);
CREATE INDEX timestamp_index ON conversations (timestamp);
CREATE INDEX system_timestamp_index ON conversations (system_id, timestamp);
```

**Access Pattern**: Most frequent queries (recent data)

#### Warm Tier (7-90 days)

**Technology**: DuckDB on-disk (NVMe SSD)

**Purpose**: Historical analytics, trend analysis

**Characteristics**:

- Compressed embeddings (INT8[384], 75% size reduction)
- Extractive summaries (3 sentences)
- 100-500ms latency
- Lower memory footprint

**Schema**:

```sql
CREATE TABLE conversations (
    system_id VARCHAR,
    conversation_id VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY,
    embedding INT8[384],  -- Quantized
    summary TEXT,           -- Extractive summary
    timestamp TIMESTAMP,
    metadata JSON,
    uploaded_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW()
);

-- Date partitioning for efficient queries
CREATE INDEX date_partition_idx
ON conversations (date_trunc('day', timestamp));
```

**Access Pattern**: Aggregations and historical queries

#### Cold Tier (90+ days)

**Technology**: Parquet files in S3/R2

**Purpose**: Compliance, archival, deep analytics

**Characteristics**:

- MinHash fingerprint (for deduplication)
- Ultra-compressed summary (1 sentence)
- No embeddings (cost optimization)
- S3 Standard/Infrequent Access storage

**Schema** (PyArrow/Parquet):

```python
schema = pa.schema([
    ("system_id", pa.string()),
    ("conversation_id", pa.string()),
    ("fingerprint", pa.binary()),     # MinHash
    ("ultra_summary", pa.string()),    # 1-sentence summary
    ("timestamp", pa.timestamp("ns")),
    ("daily_metrics", pa.string()),   # JSON metadata
])
```

**Access Pattern**: Rare archival queries

### 3. Processing Services

#### Deduplication

**Module**: `akosha/processing/deduplication.py`

**Strategy**:

1. **Exact deduplication**: SHA-256 content hash
1. **Fuzzy deduplication**: MinHash LSH (Locality Sensitive Hashing)

```python
# Exact duplicate check
content_hash = sha256(content)

# Fuzzy similarity (for near-duplicates)
fingerprint = minhash(content, num_perm=128)
similarity = jaccard(fingerprint1, fingerprint2)
```

#### Vector Indexing

**Module**: `akosha/processing/vector_indexer.py`

**Technology**: DuckDB HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World)

**Configuration**:

- `M = 16` (connections per node)
- `ef_construction = 200` (index quality)
- Dimension: 384 (all-MiniLM-L6-v2)

**Performance**:

- Index build: ~10 minutes for 1M embeddings
- Query: \<50ms for top-10 results
- Recall: >95% for semantic search

#### Time-Series Aggregation

**Module**: `akosha/processing/time_series.py`

**Operations**:

- Hourly aggregation (conversation counts, metrics)
- Daily rollup (trend statistics)
- Trend detection (anomaly detection)

```python
# Hourly aggregation
hourly_stats = {
    "conversation_count": count(*),
    "avg_embedding_norm": avg(array_length(embedding)),
    "systems_active": count(distinct system_id),
}
```

#### Knowledge Graph

**Module**: `akosha/processing/knowledge_graph.py`

**Purpose**: Entity extraction and relationship linking

**Graph Structure**:

- **Nodes**: conversations, systems, entities
- **Edges**: references, similarities, temporal relationships

**Optimization**: Bidirectional BFS (O(b^(d/2)) vs O(b^d))

```python
def find_shortest_path(source, target):
    forward = deque([source])
    backward = deque([target])

    # Expand both frontiers until meeting
    while forward and backward:
        # Expand forward frontier
        # Expand backward frontier
        # Check for intersection
```

### 4. Query Layer

#### Distributed Query Engine

**Module**: `akosha/query/distributed.py`

**Strategy**: Fan-out to shards, merge and re-rank

```mermaid
graph LR
    Q[Query] --> D1[Shard 1]
    Q --> D2[Shard 2]
    Q --> D3[Shard 256]
    D1 --> A[Aggregator]
    D2 --> A
    D3 --> A
    A --> R[Re-ranker]
```

**Flow**:

1. Route query to relevant shards (consistent hashing)
1. Parallel search across shards
1. Merge results
1. Re-rank by global similarity
1. Return top-K results

#### Cache Layer

**Module**: `akosha/cache/layered_cache.py`

**Two-tier caching**:

- **L1**: In-memory cache (1000 entries, 5min TTL)
- **L2**: Redis cache (100k entries, 1hr TTL)

**Cache Strategy**: Write-through with TTL expiration

### 5. API Layer

#### MCP Server

**Module**: `akosha/mcp/server.py`

**Security**:

- JWT authentication
- Rate limiting (10 req/s, burst 100)
- Input validation (Pydantic schemas)
- Security logging (SIEM integration)

**Tools**: 9 MCP tools exposed via FastMCP

```

## Scaling Considerations

### Vertical Scaling

- **CPU**: Vector operations benefit from SIMD (AVX-512)
- **Memory**: Hot tier requires ~1GB per 1M conversations
- **Storage**: NVMe SSD critical for warm tier performance

### Horizontal Scaling

- **Sharding**: 256 shards (consistent hashing)
- **Workers**: Multi-worker ingestion (poll-based)
- **Query**: Stateless query servers (horizontal scaling)

### Performance Targets

| Metric | Target | Measurement |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| Ingestion throughput | 1000 uploads/min | `pytest tests/perf/test_ingestion.py` |
| Search latency (p50) | \<50ms | `pytest tests/perf/test_search.py` |
| Search latency (p99) | \<200ms | Same benchmark |
| Hot→Warm aging | \<1 hr for 1TB | Aging service benchmark |
| Cache hit rate | >50% | Production metrics |
