KalamDB v0.5.3-rc.1 Pre-Release

KalamDB v0.5.3-rc.1 is the June 17 pre-release with kalam init/dev workflows, DataFusion 54, and 8.0% faster measured benchmark time.

The June 17 v0.5.3-rc.1 pre-release packages the Kalam CLI project workflow with benchmark evidence from the synced site artifacts.

The headline benchmark result is 38/38 benchmarks passed with 213,667.71 ms measured benchmark time, an 8.0% improvement over 0.5.2-rc.1.

What changed in v0.5.3-rc.1

This pre-release focuses on the local developer loop: project scaffolding, app supervision, schema application, and generated SDK artifacts from one CLI workflow.

Start with kalam init to create kalam.toml, schema.sql, migrations, optional TypeScript starter files, and package-manager wiring. Then run kalam dev to start or reuse a local server, apply schema changes, regenerate SDK artifacts, and stream supervised process logs.
