Database-to-Summary Pipeline with CozoDB + Candle RS
Last Updated: 2025-10-28 Status: 🚀 Production-Ready Architecture | Candle RS + Metal Acceleration Repository: github.com/that-in-rust/dobby-subagent-code-summarizer
Dobby is a Rust-native database-to-summary pipeline that processes CozoDB tables containing code/content data using Candle RS-powered parallel AI inference with Metal GPU acceleration for Apple Silicon. The system achieves extreme parallelism through database-first processing, eliminating file parsing bottlenecks.
- Database-First Processing: Direct CozoDB table consumption (no file parsing/chunking)
- Candle RS Native: Rust-native inference with Apple Silicon Metal acceleration
- Extreme Parallelism: 20x concurrent processing for database record summarization
- Simplified Architecture: Streamlined pipeline focused on inference performance
- Throughput: 1000+ records/minute with 20x parallelism
- Latency: < 50ms average inference time per record
- Memory: < 8GB total footprint with session pooling
- Scalability: Linear scaling up to 20 concurrent agents
