Use case

High-performance databases from Python

Alopex ships Python wheels with every release (officially supported). Use SQL, vector search, and graph straight from Python, with no separate infrastructure to stand up — and scale from a single embedded instance to a production cluster on the same data file.

Install

pip install alopex

The alopex package — both the Database and DataFrame APIs.

View on PyPI

Use it from Python

import alopex

db = alopex.Database.open("./my_data")

results = db.execute_sql(
    "SELECT * FROM docs WHERE category = ?",
    ["science"],
)

similar = db.search_hnsw("docs", query_embedding, k=10)

One file to a cluster

The same data file, seamlessly from embedded to server to distributed cluster.

Vector-native

VECTOR type, HNSW, and vector_similarity() built into SQL.

SQL and DataFrame

Full SQL, plus a Polars-style lazy DataFrame API.

No extra infra

Runs embedded, scales out when you need it — no second infrastructure.
