mod.rs

1// ─── storage/mod.rs ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2// This is the root module for all storage backends. It does three things:
3//
4//   1. Declares and conditionally exposes the concrete backend modules
5//      (disk, encrypted, wasm) based on the compile target.
6//
7//   2. Defines the StorageBackend trait — the single interface that the rest
8//      of the engine uses to read/write data. Any type that implements this
9//      trait can be used as a storage backend, whether it writes to a disk
10//      file, an encrypted file, or a browser OPFS file.
11//
12//   3. Provides the startup replay functions (stream_into_state, apply_entry,
13//      replay_log_entries) that rebuild the in-memory database state from the
14//      persistent log on server/worker startup.
15//
16// The StorageBackend trait is the key abstraction that makes MoltenDB's
17// "same engine, different storage" design possible. The engine (mod.rs,
18// operations.rs, handlers.rs) never imports a concrete storage type — it
19// only ever holds an Arc<dyn StorageBackend>. This means you can swap the
20// storage backend without changing any engine code.

24// These cfg attributes mean "only compile this when NOT targeting wasm32".
25// On native (server) builds we get disk.rs and encrypted.rs.
26// On WASM (browser) builds we get wasm.rs.

64//
65// This is the core abstraction of the storage layer. Any type that implements

153//   2. For each LogEntry, call apply_entry() to update the in-memory DashMaps.
