Our Take

SpiralDB is building a columnar format called Vortex that stacks multiple compression encodings per column in a recursive way, which is honestly a pretty standard technique in the OLAP space — DuckDB and ClickHouse have been doing similar things for years. The question isn't whether recursive compression sounds cool, it's whether their specific implementation actually moves the needle on query performance against established players who've had years to optimize. Give me a benchmark before I'm impressed.
