?AthenaDB⚡️

Serverless, distributed Vector Database as an API written with Cloudflare Workers, Workers AI, D1, and Vectorize.

AthenaDB is a simple, serverless, distributed vector database that can be used as an API. It is written with Cloudflare Workers AI, D1, Vectorize.

Features

• Simple API Endpoints: AthenaDB provides straightforward endpoints for various database operations, making it accessible for developers of all skill levels.
• Distributed Nature: With data replication across multiple data centers, AthenaDB ensures high availability and resilience.
• Built-In Data Replication: Due to Cloudflare Workers’ underlying architecture, data is replicated across data centers automatically.
• Scalability: AthenaDB is designed to handle large amounts of vector text data, making it suitable for projects with high data volumes.
• Serverless Architecture: With AthenaDB being serverless, you don't have to worry about managing infrastructure, allowing for more focus on development.

Getting Started

• Downloads and install Wrangler.
• Log in to Wrangler with wrangler login. AthenaDB requires a $5/month Workers subscription to function.
• Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/TimeSurgeLabs/athenadb.git
cd athenadb
npm run create-vector
npm run create-db

Copy the output Database ID and paste it in wrangler.toml under database_id . Then, run the following two commands:

npm run init-db
npm run deploy

You should get an output with your API URL. You can now use the API endpoints.

API Endpoints

POST /:namespace/insert

Inserts text data into the database. Text is converted into embeddings using Cloudflare AI and stored along with a unique identifier.

• Request Body:
  • input: A single string (max 1024 characters).
  • inputs: An array of strings (each max 1024 characters).

POST /:namespace/query

Queries the database for similar text embeddings. Specify ?limit=number in the URL to specify the number of results to return. The default is 5, the maximum is 20.

• Request Body:
  • input: A single string for querying. (max 1024 characters)
  • inputs: An array of strings for batch querying. (each max 1024 characters)

GET /:namespace/:uuid

Retrieves a specific entry from the database using its unique identifier (UUID). Add query parameters ?vector=true to retrieve the vector along with the entry. Add query parameters ?db_id=true to retrieve the SQL table ID along with the entry.

GET /:namespace?limit=10&offset=0

Retrieves all entries from the given namespace. Limit can be set to a maximum of 100 entries. Add query parameters ?vector=true to retrieve the vectors along with the entries. Add query parameters ?db_id=true to retrieve the SQL table ID along with the entries.

DELETE /:namespace/:uuid

Deletes a specific entry from the database using its unique identifier (UUID). Warning: This action is irreversible.

DELETE /:namespace

Deletes all entries from the given namespace. Warning: This action is irreversible.

POST /embeddings

Generates embeddings for given text without storing it in the database.

• Request Body:
  • text: A string whose embedding is to be generated.

GET /

A test endpoint that returns 'Hello world!' as a response.

Usage Examples

Inserting Text

fetch('https://athenadb.yourusername.workers.dev/your-namespace/insert', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ input: 'Your text here' })
})

Querying the Database

fetch('https://athenadb.yourusername.workers.dev/your-namespace/query', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ input: 'Query text' })
})

Retrieving an Entry

fetch('https://athenadb.yourusername.workers.dev/your-namespace/your-uuid', {
  method: 'GET'
})

  method: 'DELETE'
})

Generating Embeddings

fetch('https://athenadb.yourusername.workers.dev/embeddings', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
