If you are already familiar with these resources, you can quickly deploy by clicking the following button.
๐ See also: Kernel Memory via Docker and Serverless Kernel Memory with Azure services example.
Kernel Memory can be easily run and imported in other projects also via .NET Aspire. For example:
var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder();
builder.AddContainer("kernel-memory", "kernelmemory/service")
.WithEnvironment("KernelMemory__TextGeneratorType", "OpenAI")
.WithEnvironment("KernelMemory__DataIngestion__EmbeddingGeneratorTypes__0", "OpenAI")
.WithEnvironment("KernelMemory__Retrieval__EmbeddingGeneratorType", "OpenAI")
.WithEnvironment("KernelMemory__Services__OpenAI__APIKey", "...your OpenAI key...");
builder.Build().Run();
The example show the default documents ingestion pipeline:
- Extract text: automatically recognize the file format and extract the information
- Partition the text in small chunks, ready for search and RAG prompts
- Extract embeddings using any LLM embedding generator
- Save embeddings into a vector index such as Azure AI Search, Qdrant or other DBs.
The example shows how to safeguard private information specifying who owns each document, and how to organize data for search and faceted navigation, using Tags.

If you want to give the service a quick test, use the following command to start the Kernel Memory Service using OpenAI:
docker run -e OPENAI_API_KEY="..." -it --rm -p 9001:9001 kernelmemory/service
on Linux ARM/MacOS
docker run -e OPENAI_API_KEY="..." -it --rm -p 9001:9001 kernelmemory/service:latest-arm64
If you prefer using custom settings and services such as Azure OpenAI, Azure
Document Intelligence, etc., you should create an appsettings.Development.json
file overriding the default values set in appsettings.json
, or using the
configuration wizard included:
cd service/Service
dotnet run setup
Then run this command to start the Docker image with the configuration just created:
on Windows:
docker run --volume .\appsettings.Development.json:/app/appsettings.Production.json -it --rm -p 9001:9001 kernelmemory/service
on Linux (AMD64):
docker run --volume ./appsettings.Development.json:/app/appsettings.Production.json -it --rm -p 9001:9001 kernelmemory/service
on ARM64 / macOS:

Depending on your scenarios, you might want to run all the code remotely through an asynchronous and scalable service, or locally inside your process.
If you're importing small files, and use only .NET and can block the application process while importing documents, then local-in-process execution can be fine, using the MemoryServerless described below.
However, if you are in one of these scenarios:
- My app is written in TypeScript, Java, Rust, or some other language
- I'd just like a web service to import data and send questions to answer
- I'm importing big documents that can require minutes to process, and I don't want to block the user interface
- I need memory import to run independently, supporting failures and retry logic
- I want to define custom pipelines mixing multiple languages like Python, TypeScript, etc
then you're likely looking for a Memory Service, and you can deploy Kernel Memory as a backend service, using the default ingestion logic, or your custom workflow including steps coded in Python/TypeScript/Java/etc., leveraging the asynchronous non-blocking memory encoding process, uploading documents and asking questions using the MemoryWebClient.
Here you can find a complete set of instruction about how to run the Kernel Memory service.
Kernel Memory works and scales at best when running as an asynchronous Web Service, allowing to ingest thousands of documents and information without blocking your app.
However, Kernel Memory can also run in serverless mode, embedding MemoryServerless
class instance
in .NET backend/console/desktop apps in synchronous mode.
Each request is processed immediately, although calling clients are responsible for handling
transient errors.
Kernel Memory relies on external services to run stateful pipelines, store data, handle embeddings, and generate text responses. The project includes extensions that allow customization of file storage, queues, vector stores, and LLMs to fit specific requirements.
- AI: Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, ONNX, Ollama, Anthropic, Azure AI Document Intelligence, Azure AI Content Safety
- Vector Store: Azure AI Search, Postgres, SQL Server, Elasticsearch, Qdrant, Redis, MongoDB Atlas, In memory store
- File Storage: Azure Blob storage, AWS S3, MongoDB Atlas, Local disk, In memory storage
- Ingestion pipelines: Azure Queues, RabbitMQ, In memory queues
Document ingestion operates as a stateful pipeline, executing steps in a defined sequence. By default, Kernel Memory employs a pipeline to extract text, chunk content, vectorize, and store data.
If you need a custom data pipeline, you can modify the sequence, add new steps, or replace existing ones by providing custom โhandlersโ for each desired stage. This allows complete flexibility in defining how data is processed. For example:
// Memory setup, e.g. how to calculate and where to store embeddings
var memoryBuilder = new KernelMemoryBuilder()
.WithoutDefaultHandlers()
.WithOpenAIDefaults(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_API_KEY"));
var memory = memoryBuilder.Build();
// Plug in custom .NET handlers
memory.Orchestrator.AddHandler<MyHandler1>("step1");
memory.Orchestrator.AddHandler<MyHandler2>("step2");
memory.Orchestrator.AddHandler<MyHandler3>("step3");
// Use the custom handlers with the memory object
await memory.ImportDocumentAsync(
new Document("mytest001")
.AddFile("file1.docx")
.AddFile("file2.pdf"),
steps: new[] { "step1", "step2", "step3" });
Semantic Kernel is an SDK for C#, Python, and Java used to develop solutions with AI. SK includes libraries that wrap direct calls to databases, supporting vector search.
Semantic Kernel is maintained in three languages, while the list of supported storage engines (known as "connectors") varies across languages.
Kernel Memory (KM) is a SERVICE built on Semantic Kernel, with additional features developed for RAG, Security, and Cloud deployment. As a service, KM can be used from any language, tool, or platform, e.g. browser extensions and ChatGPT assistants.
Kernel Memory provides several features out of the scope of Semantic Kernel, that would usually be developed manually, such as storing files, extracting text from documents, providing a framework to secure users' data, content moderation etc.
Kernel Memory is also leveraged to explore new AI patterns, which sometimes are backported to Semantic Kernel and Microsoft libraries, for instance vector stores flexible schemas, advanced filtering, authentications.
