Spice.ai Enterprise is a portable (<150MB) compute engine built in Rust for data-intensive and intelligent applications. It accelerates SQL queries across databases, data warehouses, and data lakes using Apache Arrow, DataFusion, DuckDB, or SQLite. Integrated and co-deployed with data-intensive applications, Spice materializes and accelerates data from object storage, ensuring sub-second query performance and resilient AI applications. Deployable as a container on AWS ECS, EKS, or hybrid cloud & edge, it includes enterprise licensing, support, and SLAs.
Note: Spice.ai Enterprise requires an existing commercial license. For details, please contact sales@spice.ai .
Highlights
- Unified data query and AI engine accelerating SQL queries across databases, data warehouses, and data lakes. Delivers sub-second query performance while grounding mission-critical AI applications with real-time context to minimize errors and hallucinations.
- Advanced AI and retrieval tools, featuring vector and hybrid search, text-to-SQL, and LLM memory, enabling data-grounded AI applications with more than 25 data connectors enabling federated queries and real-time applications.
- Deployable as a container on AWS ECS, EKS, or on-premises, with dedicated support and SLAs for scalable, secure integration into any architecture.

Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
Version release notes
Spice v2.1.2-enterprise is the enterprise release of v2.1.2, a patch release focused on improving the DuckDB data accelerator. It upgrades the DuckDB engine to v1.5.5 and introduces the on_full_refresh parameter, giving file-mode DuckDB accelerations compact, predictable disk usage across repeated full refreshes.
What's New in v2.1.2-enterprise
Bounded DuckDB Acceleration File Growth with on_full_refresh
File-mode DuckDB accelerations using refresh_mode: full now reclaim disk space on every refresh, keeping the database file compact and disk usage predictable for long-running deployments. Each full refresh bulk-loads a fresh copy of the data, and the new on_full_refresh modes ensure the space held by prior copies is returned rather than accumulating in the file.
The new on_full_refresh acceleration parameter controls how disk space is reclaimed after each full refresh:
acceleration: engine: duckdb mode: file refresh_mode: full params: duckdb_file: /data/shared.duckdb on_full_refresh: replace_file # default: reuse_file- reuse_file (default): Existing behavior: refresh into the existing database file.
- replace_file: Each full refresh streams data into a fresh staging database file, carries over every other object sharing the file (other datasets' tables, views, indexes, and Spice metadata), checkpoints it, and atomically replaces the configured file. Queries are never interrupted - in-flight queries drain against the old file while new queries see the new file - and space is fully reclaimed on every refresh.
- checkpoint_file: After each refresh, run a CHECKPOINT in place, escalating to FORCE CHECKPOINT when concurrent transactions block the plain attempt (waiting for in-flight transactions; never aborting them).
DuckDB 1.5.5
The DuckDB engine is upgraded from v1.5.3 to v1.5.5 , bringing the latest upstream stability fixes.

Upgrading
To upgrade to v2.1.2-enterprise, use one of the following methods:
Docker:
Run using the 2.1.2 docker enterprise image
docker run --name spiceai-enterprise \ -p 50051:50051 -p 8090:8090 709825985650.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/spice-ai/spiceai-enterprise-byol:2.1.2-enterprise-models --http 0.0.0.0:8090 --flight 0.0.0.0:50051`For available tags, see DockerHub .
Helm:
helm pull oci://709825985650.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/spice-ai/spiceai-enterprise-byol --version 2.1.2-enterprise-helm`Additional details
Usage instructions
The docker image expects a spicepod.yaml in the /app directory. Mount a volume into the container with the configured spicepod.yaml.
By default the endpoints only listen on 127.0.0.1, to access the endpoints from outside of the docker container, specify the endpoints to listen on 0.0.0.0 as shown below.
i.e. to mount the current directory into /app: docker run --name spiceai-enterprise -v .:/app -p 50051:50051 -p 8090:8090 709825985650.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/spice-ai/spiceai-enterprise-byol:2.1.1-enterprise-models --http 0.0.0.0:8090 --flight 0.0.0.0:50051`
