Engineered for Performance & Zero-Lockin

Feenion Technical Architecture

How Feenion achieves non-blocking client instrumentation, sub-millisecond asynchronous trace batching, and real-time streaming observability.

1. End-to-End Telemetry Flow

When an AI request starts in your Python application, Feenion creates lightweight span contexts with millisecond timestamps and token metadata. Traces are queued in a background worker thread and flushed in compressed batches over HTTP.

Pipeline Topology:
1. SDK Decorator Context vars & execution hooks
2. Async Exporter Non-blocking background queue
3. Ingestion API Gzip decompression & validation
4. DB Worker SQLite WAL / Postgres bulk upsert
5. WebSocket Live Sub-10ms UI push stream

2. Storage Engine: SQLite WAL vs PostgreSQL

Feenion supports both zero-config embedded SQLite (with Write-Ahead Logging for high concurrency) and external PostgreSQL for enterprise deployments.

Single-Container Mode (SQLite)

Runs inside a single Docker container with ~40MB RAM footprint. Perfect for local debugging, CI/CD test suites, and small teams.

Distributed Mode (PostgreSQL + Redis)

High-throughput production setup supporting millions of traces per day with asynchronous Redis worker ingestion.

3. Fault Tolerance & Non-Blocking Guarantees

Feenion is designed to never crash your application. If the Feenion server becomes unavailable or experiences network blips, the Python SDK gracefully drops or buffers traces without throwing uncaught exceptions to user requests.
