Question 1

What is SapixDB?

Accepted Answer

SapixDB is the world's first agent-native database. It treats every record as a cryptographically signed nucleotide, hash-linked into an immutable strand — giving you built-in audit trails, time travel queries, and schema evolution without migrations.

Question 2

How is SapixDB different from PostgreSQL or MongoDB?

Accepted Answer

Traditional databases store mutable rows with no built-in history. SapixDB is append-only by design: every write is cryptographically signed and linked to its predecessor. You get immutable audit trails, time travel, and agent-owned data ownership without external tooling.

Question 3

Does SapixDB require schema migrations?

Accepted Answer

No. SapixDB uses Mutant-governed schema evolution — the schema evolves in place via versioned nucleotide types, never requiring ALTER TABLE or migration scripts.

Question 4

Is SapixDB HIPAA and SOX compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because every record is cryptographically signed and immutably linked, SapixDB produces a tamper-evident audit trail natively. HIPAA data lineage and SOX financial audit requirements are satisfied at the storage layer without external compliance tooling.

Question 5

How do I get started with SapixDB?

Accepted Answer

SapixDB is available as a Docker image. Run `docker compose up -d` and the agent starts on port 7475. See the documentation at sapixdb.com/docs for full quickstart instructions.
