Getting Started with Spice

Spice is an open-source SQL query, search, and LLM-inference engine written in Rust. It federates queries across 30+ data sources, accelerates data locally, and integrates search and AI — all configured declaratively in YAML.

Spice is not a replacement for PostgreSQL/MySQL (use those for transactional workloads) or a data warehouse (use Snowflake/Databricks for centralized analytics). Think of it as the operational data & AI layer between your applications and your data infrastructure.
