Layer Db

Check out the project at https://github.com/aabidsofi19/key_db

Layer-Db is a lightweight and fast embedded key-value database that was created to provide a simple and efficient way to store and retrieve data without the need for a separate database server or external dependencies. The database was written in Rust for speed and safety, and is easy to install and use.

One of the main challenges faced during the development of Layer-Db was ensuring that the database was both fast and efficient, while also being able to handle large amounts of data. To address this challenge, the developers I chose to use Rust as the programming language, as it is known for its performance and safety features.

In addition, the database was designed to be an in-memory but persisted database, using append-only logging for persistence in a separate thread in order to reduce performance hits due to persistence.

Another challenge faced during the development of Layer-Db was ensuring that the database was easy to install and use. To address this challenge, I chose to use pip for installation and provided clear and concise documentation for using the database.

The end result of these efforts was a lightweight and fast embedded key-value database that was easy to install and use. The database has proven to be a valuable tool for developers, as it provides a simple and efficient way to store and retrieve data in a key-value format without the need for a separate database server or external dependencies. It is particularly useful for applications that require fast and efficient access to data, without the overhead of a full-featured database server.

Overall, the development of Layer-Db was a successful project that addressed the challenges of creating a lightweight and efficient key-value database that was easy to install and use. The end result has proven to be a valuable tool for developers, and I welcome any feedback or suggestions for improvements.
