Hi HN,I’m releasing minikv, a distributed key-value and object store in Rust.What is minikv?minikv is an open-source, distributed storage engine built for learning, experimentation, and self-hosted setups. It combines a strongly-consistent key-value database (Raft), S3-compatible object storage, and basic multi-tenancy. I started minikv as a learning project about distributed systems, and it grew into something production-ready and fun to extend.Features/highlights:- Raft consensus with automatic failover and sharding- S3-compatible HTTP API (plus REST/gRPC APIs)- Pluggable storage backends: in-memory, RocksDB, Sled- Multi-tenant: per-tenant namespaces, role-based access, quotas, and audit- Metrics (Prometheus), TLS, JWT-based API keys- Easy to deploy (single binary, works with Docker/Kubernetes)Quick demo (single node):git clone https://github.com/whispem/minikv.gitcd minikvcargo run --release -- --config config.example.tomlcurl localhost:8080/health/ready# S3 upload + readcurl -X PUT localhost:8080/s3/mybucket/hello -d "hi HN"curl localhost:8080/s3/mybucket/helloDocs, cluster setup, and architecture details are in the repo.I’d love to hear feedback, questions, ideas, or your stories running distributed infra in Rust!Repo: https://github.com/whispem/minikvCrate: https://crates.io/crates/minikvComments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46661308Points: 9# Comments: 1
