    Minikv – Distributed key-value and object store in Rust (Raft, S3 API)▲71

    Hi HN, I'm Emilie, I have a literature background (which explains the well-written documentation!) and I've been learning Rust and distributed systems by building minikv over the past few months.

    Tinykv – Minimal file-backed key-value store for Rust▲24
