redb

A simple, portable, high-performance, ACID, embedded key-value store.

redb is written in pure Rust and is loosely inspired by lmdb. Data is stored in a collection of mmap'ed, copy-on-write, B-trees. For more details, see the design doc

use redb::{Database, Error, ReadableTable, TableDefinition};

const TABLE: TableDefinition<str, u64> = TableDefinition::new("my_data");

fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
    let db = unsafe { Database::create("my_db.redb", 1024 * 1024)? };
    let write_txn = db.begin_write()?;
    {
        let mut table = write_txn.open_table(TABLE)?;
        table.insert("my_key", &123)?;
    }
    write_txn.commit()?;

    let read_txn = db.begin_read()?;
    let table = read_txn.open_table(TABLE)?;
    assert_eq!(table.get("my_key")?.unwrap(), 123);

    Ok(())
}

Status

redb is undergoing active development, and should be considered beta quality. It may eat your data, and does not have any guarantees of file format stability :)

Features

Zero-copy, thread-safe, BTreeMap based API
Fully ACID-compliant transactions
MVCC support for concurrent readers & writer, without blocking
Crash-safe by default

Roadmap

The following features are planned before the 1.0 release

Stable file format
User-defined zero-copy types

Benchmarks

redb is nearly as fast as lmdb, and faster than sled, on many benchmarks
