sled VS mini-redis

How do you compare this to sled? https://github.com/spacejam/sled

Sled uses bw-tree actually https://github.com/spacejam/sled/wiki/sled-architectural-outlook

There is a valid argument to be made for threads over async in a large percentage of use cases where async is considered the default. If this is what you are referring to however, I don't think they ever referred to async as completely useless: https://github.com/spacejam/sled/issues/1123.

Have you looked into other pure-Rust databases as well, such as sled or GlueSQL which has an SQL interface on top of sled? I wonder how those would compare to Persy.

I'm not sure what you need. Are these of any use? https://github.com/meilisearch/heed https://github.com/spacejam/sled

There is also Sled but as I understand it that is being reworked to use the author's new DB core Marble

There are some databases like sled/FlashDB designed to be embedded to other applications even bare metal microcontrollers. But I do doubt the potential bussiness value of a pure embedded database.

One project I found extremely easy to read and understand was mini-redis. Anything similar to that?

For learning async Rust, mini-redis repo is hard to surpass: https://github.com/tokio-rs/mini-redis

The code is simple enough for beginners to follow, but also complex enough to demonstrate Rust async in the wild. And best of all, the code is heavily commented!

You can follow the official Tokio tutorial to implement mini-redis incrementally: https://tokio.rs/tokio/tutorial/setup

for backend async service: https://github.com/tokio-rs/mini-redis

Have a look at https://github.com/tokio-rs/mini-redis, written as an example of a modern rust application.

I sure learned a ton from looking at the mini-redis implementation from the tokio team https://github.com/tokio-rs/mini-redis -- especially when you want to work with tokio! I think it's remarkably well structured and documented.

If https://github.com/tokio-rs/mini-redis does not help answer your question, could you elaborate a bit more on your struggle and we can see if we can fit it into our docs.

Tokio async runtime for Rust has a tutorial in its user guide https://tokio.rs/tokio/tutorial on writing a mini-redis (https://github.com/tokio-rs/mini-redis).

You may be able to take inspiration from mini-redis, which is a learning resource created by the Tokio project. Its purpose is to show off many common patterns in async Rust, and a shared hashmap is one of them.

Serializing messages is a large part of mini-redis, and its source is pretty easy to read. You can also try to implement it using tokio_util::codec, which is a library that helps with implementing this kind of stuff. It has some decent examples on the link as well.

This is specifically for async Rust, but the Tokio project has written mini-redis explicitly for the purpose of being a good example of how to write idiomatic async Rust code.
