Experiment: Giving coding agents fully deterministic memory without vector DBs
madsthines · reddit · 2026-08-29
The author experimented with building fully deterministic memory for coding agents, avoiding embeddings or vector databases. The approach uses scoped keys based on recurrence and recency rather than semantic search. Results show it works well for recurring, specific issues, offering a cost-effective and predictable alternative comparable to OpenTelemetry standards.
