The Deterministic
Context Database
Fix your RAG in 5 minutes. Same query → same context, every time.
$ cargo install avocado-cliStop Guessing. Start Knowing.
Traditional vector databases are probabilistic. AvocadoDB is deterministic.
The Old Way
- ×Random results for same query
- ×Silent failures in production
- ×Impossible to debug hallucinations
- ×Expensive cloud bills
- ×Complex infrastructure setup
The Avocado Way
- ✓Bit-exact results every time
- ✓Guaranteed context window packing
- ✓Full traceability of sources
- ✓Free & Open Source (MIT)
- ✓Single binary, zero dependencies
Why AvocadoDB?
The only database designed specifically for deterministic RAG pipelines.
Lightning Fast
Built on SQLite and highly optimized Rust code. Sub-50ms latency for typical RAG queries.
Deterministic
Same query + same data = same context. No more random hallucinations or flaky tests.
Hybrid Search
Combines vector similarity (HNSW) with keyword search (BM25) for best-in-class retrieval.
Local First
Runs entirely on your machine or server. No API keys, no data leaks, no cloud bills.
Version Control
Track changes to your context data with Git-like semantics. Rollback anytime.
Secure by Default
Your data never leaves your infrastructure. Enterprise-grade security out of the box.
Built for Speed
Optimized Rust core + SQLite storage engine = Blazing fast retrieval.
How it Works
A deterministic pipeline from raw documents to LLM-ready context.
1. Ingest
Documents are processed recursively. Text is split into semantic spans (20-50 lines) with metadata tracking.
2. Index
Spans are embedded locally (FastEmbed) and indexed into HNSW (Vector) + FTS5 (Keyword) SQLite tables.
3. Compile
Hybrid search results are fused (RRF), deduplicated (MMR), and packed greedily into the context window.

Simple by Design
No complex SDKs. Just a CLI tool that does one thing well.
cargo install avocado-cli avocado init
avocado ingest ./docs --recursive # Automatically detects .md, .txt, .pdf
avocado compile "How does auth work?" # Returns deterministic context window
