======

The Database For The People.

## Introduction

This project is not a political statement. It is inspired by the Khelish word "Geth," meaning "Servant of the People."

The project is purely experimental and is where I explore various aspects of database design. I aim to test specific

data structures and observe their behavior in real-life scenarios.

This is a side project that I work on during my spare time. It is not production-ready, and most of the code is

undocumented. Although the code is written entirely in Rust, performance is not a primary focus.

## Supported platforms

The codebase should compile on any 64-bit platform supported by the Rust compiler. So far, it has been tested on Linux,

macOS, and Windows. Please note that Linux will remain the primary target

## Features

The core engine is a NoSQL, append-only, and immutable database with the following key features:

* Custom binary format for storing data, based on Protobuf 2.

* Indexing is achieved through a homemade LSM tree implementation.

* Client communication is handled via gRPC.

* Full-featured REPL for database interaction.

* Capability to spawn programs using the [Pyro] programming language.

* Cluster functionality using a homemade Raft implementation (though it is not fully integrated yet).

## What's next?

This is the features I want to work on

* Complete benchmark suite

* Support other programming languages for spawn processes, most likely Lua

* Introduce plugins

* Exposes the database core as a programmable platform.
