Simple

ICDB ships as a single executable. Download it, run it, and you have a working threat intelligence graph backed by an embedded database. No external services, no configuration files, no setup wizard.

When you outgrow the single binary, when you need dedicated PostgreSQL, a production frontend, horizontal scaling, everything is there. But you choose when to add that complexity, not the tool.

./icdb serve Development: embedded database, zero config
docker compose up Production: PostgreSQL, dedicated frontend, TLS
