Key Features

100% GQL compliance

Geode maintains 100% ISO/IEC 39075:2024 GQL compliance:

  • ✅ Deterministic ordering and pagination policies
  • ✅ MATCH pattern matching with bounded expansions and OPTIONAL MATCH
  • ✅ Full aggregation support
  • ✅ Set operations (UNION, INTERSECT, EXCEPT)
  • ✅ See the conformance profile for scope and diagnostics

Enterprise-Grade Security

  • Authentication: RBAC/ABAC with MFA support
  • Encryption: TDE and FLE with searchable encryption
  • Audit: Comprehensive compliance tracking
  • RLS: Enhanced row-level security with policy evaluation

Optimized Architecture

  • Memory-mapped I/O for efficient storage access
  • SIMD-accelerated vector distance calculations
  • Six specialized index types for different workloads
  • Distributed deployment with up to 32 shards

Advanced Data Types

Over 50 specialized types including:

  • Vectors (VectorF32/VectorI32) with SIMD acceleration
  • Geographic (LatLon, GeoPoint) with R-tree indexing
  • Network (IpAddr, Subnet) with Patricia trie indexing
  • Cryptographic (Hash, UUID) with constant-time operations

Test Coverage

  • Integration tests: 97.4% pass rate (1,644/1,688 tests)
  • Unit tests: 100% pass rate (393/393 tests)
  • GQL conformance profile: see conformance profile
  • CANARY markers: 1,735 markers tracking 2,190+ requirements
