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 v2.0.1 (June 17, 2026)
Spice v2.0.1 is a patch release focused on reliability and performance. It speeds up Apache Iceberg reads and fixes bugs across AWS S3 and object-store datasets, data acceleration, distributed query, and authenticated access.
What's New in v2.0.1
Faster Iceberg Reads with Parallel File Scanning
The Apache Iceberg reader now scans data files in parallel (#11331 ), improving read throughput and latency for Iceberg tables that span many files.
AWS S3 & Object-Store Reliability
Three fixes improve S3 and object-store dataset behavior:
- Refresh-skip restored (#11339 ): ETag/Version-based refresh-skip works reliably again, so unchanged S3 objects are no longer re-downloaded on every refresh.
- Retry when source files are not yet available (#11342 ): an object-store dataset whose source files are not present at startup now retries and becomes ready once the data appears, instead of failing permanently.
- Path-style addressing for dotted bucket names (#11347 ): on standard AWS, buckets whose names contain dots now default to path-style addressing, avoiding TLS wildcard certificate errors under virtual-hosted-style HTTPS.
Data Acceleration & Distributed Query Fixes
Two fixes ensure accelerated datasets behave correctly in more configurations:
- Acceleration endpoints (#11345 ): /v1/datasets/{name}/acceleration/refresh (and the related update-refresh-sql, partition-filters, and snapshots endpoints) now work for all accelerated datasets, fixing cases where some incorrectly reported Table is not accelerated.
- Distributed clusters (#11226 ): the distributed query coordinator now serves accelerated data from executors for all accelerated datasets, instead of falling back to reading from the source for some.
Authenticated Query Fixes
With authentication enabled, queries now consistently run as the requesting user (#11253 ), so per-user behavior such as results caching is correctly scoped to each user.

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:2.0.1-enterprise-models --http 0.0.0.0:8090 --flight 0.0.0.0:50051`
