Roadmap

What's next for SeekStorm

SeekStorm is under active development — here's a look at the features we're building next, from split of storage & compute and a distributed search cluster with elastic scaling to multimodal retrieval.

Sourced from the project roadmap on GitHub. Missing something you need? Let the team know via a GitHub issue or discussion.

Retrieval & search

Extending what can be searched and how agents retrieve it — beyond plain text, and beyond keywords and vectors alone.

Late Interaction Multimodal Retrieval

Planned

Token- and patch-level late-interaction scoring (ColBERT/ColPali-style) across text and image content, for finer-grained relevance than single-vector embeddings.

Geocoding, reverse geocoding & GeoJSON

Planned

Turning addresses into coordinates and back, plus native GeoJSON support, to round out SeekStorm's existing geo proximity search, filtering and sorting.

MCP server & CLI for RAG and agentic search

Planned

A Model Context Protocol server and command-line interface so agents and LLM applications can query SeekStorm indices directly for Retrieval Augmented Generation.

Storage & scaling

Moving SeekStorm from a single, high-performance server towards elastic, cloud-native deployments — without giving up the latency it's built on.

Split of storage and compute

Planned

Decoupling the index backend from the query engine, with two backend options:

S3 object storage as index backend
A distributed key-value store as index backend

Elasticity

Planned

Automatic spawning and winding down of shards in the cloud, scaling capacity with index size and load rather than fixed provisioning.

Distributed search cluster

Proof of concept

Extending SeekStorm's per-core sharding across machines, so a cluster of nodes can serve a single index. Currently at the proof-of-concept stage.

Platform & tooling

Broadening language coverage and making the Rust core easy to embed from any stack, on any target.

More tokenizer types

Planned

Japanese and Korean tokenization, joining the existing Chinese word segmentation and 38-language stemming support.

WebAssembly (Wasm)

Planned

A Wasm build of the SeekStorm library, for running search in the browser, at the edge, or in any Wasm-hosted runtime.

Language wrappers & bindings

Planned

Wrapper/bindings for the SeekStorm Rust library in JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, C and Go, so it can be embedded directly in more application stacks.

This page tracks the roadmap maintained in the SeekStorm GitHub repository, which remains the source of truth for scope and sequencing.
