As a proof-of-concept project, DiffMem has the following areas for improvement:
1. Lack of concurrency control
Multi-process/multi-thread safety mechanisms are not implemented in the current version and may occur:
- Git repository conflicts (when multiple intelligences commit memories at the same time)
- Indexes are not synchronized (in-memory BM25 indexes do not implement distributed locking)
2. Extensibility constraints
Tests show this occurs when the memory file exceeds 50MB:
- Significant increase in latency for Git operations
- In-memory index load time over 1 second
3. Insufficient automation
Manual processing is required:
- Git remote synchronization (perform push/pull periodically)
- Conflict resolution (manual intervention required to merge conflicts)
- Garbage collection (historical data cleaning strategy not implemented)
4. Inadequate security mechanisms
Missing:
- Memory content encryption
- access control
- Operational Audit Log
It is recommended to use it with a Git encryption tool such as git-crypt in production environments.
