# UmaDB - Dynamic Consistency Boundary Event Store
**UmaDB** is a specialist open-source event store built for **dynamic consistency boundaries**.
This crate provides the `umadb` binary, a gRPC server for running UmaDB as a standalone service.
## Installation
### Via Cargo
Install the `umadb` binary using Cargo:
```bash
cargo install umadb
```
After installation, run the server:
```bash
umadb --listen 127.0.0.1:50051 --db-path ./data
```
### Pre-built Binaries
Pre-built binaries for various platforms are available on GitHub:
- [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/umadb-io/umadb/releases)
Download the appropriate binary for your platform and architecture.
### Docker Images
UmaDB Docker images are available from multiple registries:
**Docker Hub:**
```bash
docker pull umadb/umadb:latest
docker run -p 50051:50051 -v /path/to/data:/data umadb/umadb:latest
```
**GitHub Container Registry (GHCR):**
```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/umadb-io/umadb:latest
docker run -p 50051:50051 -v /path/to/data:/data ghcr.io/umadb-io/umadb:latest
```
## CLI Usage
The `umadb` command-line interface provides options to configure the server:
```
umadb [OPTIONS]
```
### Options
- `--db-path` - Path to the database file or directory
- `--listen` - Server bind address (e.g. `127.0.0.1:50051`)
- `--tls-cert` - Optional file path to TLS server certificate (also via UMADB_TLS_CERT)
- `--tls-key` - Optional file path to TLS server private key (also via UMADB_TLS_KEY)
- `--api-key` - Optional API key for authenticating clients (also via UMADB_API_KEY)
- `-h, --help` - Print help
- `-V, --version` - Print version
### Examples
Run CLI listening to `0.0.0.0:50051` using `./data` to store events.
```bash
umadb --listen 0.0.0.0:50051 --db-path ./data
```
Run Docker image, publishing port `50051` and persisting data to a local volume:
```bash
docker run -p 50051:50051 -v $(pwd)/umadb-data:/data umadb/umadb:latest
```
## Quick Start
Once the server is running, you can connect using client libraries:
### Python Client
```bash
pip install umadb
```
```python
from umadb import Client, Event
# Connect to UmaDB server
client = Client("http://localhost:50051")
# Create and append events
event = Event(
event_type="UserCreated",
data=b"user data",
tags=["user:123"],
)
position = client.append([event])
print(f"Event appended at position: {position}")
# Read events
events = client.read()
for seq in events:
print(f"Position {seq.position}: {seq.event.event_type}")
```
### Rust Client
Add the client dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
umadb-client = "0.1"
```
Use the client in your code:
```rust
use umadb_client::UmaDBClient;
use umadb_dcb::{DCBEvent, DCBEventStoreAsync};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let client = UmaDBClient::new("http://localhost:50051".to_string())
.connect_async()
.await?;
let events = vec![DCBEvent {
event_type: "UserCreated".to_string(),
data: b"user data".to_vec(),
tags: vec!["user:123".to_string()],
uuid: None,
}];
let position = client.append(events, None).await?;
println!("Event appended at position: {}", position);
Ok(())
}
```
## Features
- **High-performance concurrency** with non-blocking reads and writes
- **Optimistic concurrency control** to prevent simultaneous write conflicts
- **Dynamic business-rule enforcement** via query-driven append conditions
- **Real-time subscriptions** with seamless catch-up and continuous delivery
- **gRPC API** for cross-language compatibility
