About the iCommerce embedded engine
This explanation covers the local-first iCommerce engine and how deterministic APIs make automation safe.How the engine works
- The embedded engine runs in-process on SQLite or PostgreSQL.
- Deterministic operations require explicit write intent.
- Language bindings expose a unified API surface.
Why this design
Local-first execution improves latency and reliability while keeping behavior predictable.When to use it
- Agent workflows: safe, deterministic operations
- Edge deployments: local-first execution
- High-throughput: in-process calls with minimal overhead
