SEE: The Hidden Cloud Tax Breaker — Schema-Aware Compression Beyond Zstd

Schema-aware compression that keeps JSON searchable while compressed.
19.5% of raw, p50 ≈ 0.18 ms, skip ≈ 99%.
SEE cuts I/O + CPU cost, saving $7B+/year with ROI ≈ 11,000%.

1. SEE Schema-Aware Compression Beyond Zstd The Hidden Cloud Tax Breaker From Bytes to Balance Sheets  github.com/kodomonocch1/see_proto
2. Problem: The Hidden Cloud Tax  Cloud Storage  Data Flow $ Egress = $0.05/GB   Every byte leaving the cloud is taxed 1 EB/month = $50M/month
3. FinOps Pressure Cloud Cost = Egress + CPU Egress (Data Transfer) CPU (Decompression) Compression reduces storage, not compute.
4. Why gzip/Zstd Are Not Enough Storage savings ≠ Query performance     Decompress Parse Filter Aggregate High CPU & I/O overhead at every query   
5. Breakthrough: Schema-Aware Compression SEE understands structure, not just bytes. JSON Schema  Δ Encoding  Zstd  PageDir  Bloom Filter  Mini- Index Structure × Δ × Zstd + Bloom = Searchable Compression Partial Decode / Direct Access
6. Architecture Overview Traditional Compression Monolithic Compressed Block SEE Compression Schema Layer Δ Codec Bloom Filter PageDir Zstd Dictionary Selective access replaces full decode
7. Performance Metrics Real-World Performance (GitHub Dataset) Metric SEE Zstd Combined ratio 0.194 0.137 Lookup p50 (ms) 0.18 n/a Skip rate 0.99 0 SEE trades 5–10% size for 90% fewer I/O operations
8. Economic Impact: From Technical Gain to Financial Impact Payback < 4 days • ROI ≈ 11,000% • 100 EB/month scale SEE pays back faster than cloud billing cycles.
9. Market Necessity SEE is Not Optional — It's Inevitable.  FinOps Optimization  Cloud API Integration  Sustainability Shield Adoption risk > Implementation cost
10. Whoever controls SEE controls egress economics. SEE is a kingmaker IP asset.
