  1. rebuf

    Rebuf is a library that can be used as a WAL which can be used for logging and later replaying the data bytes during downstream service failure

  3. etcd

    Distributed reliable key-value store for the most critical data of a distributed system

    Did I miss it or is there no call to os.File.Sync() anywhere?

    Since you mention etcd/wal:

    https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/v3.3.27/wal/wal.go#L671

    https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/v3.3.27/pkg/fileutil/sy...

  4. ZoneTree

    ZoneTree is a persistent, high-performance, transactional, and ACID-compliant ordered key-value database for .NET. It operates seamlessly both in-memory and on local/cloud storage, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications requiring efficient data management.

    This reminds me of a ZoneTree which is persistent LSM tree project based on top of WAL, written in C#: https://github.com/koculu/ZoneTree

    Kind of like RocksDB.

  5. zap

    Blazing fast, structured, leveled logging in Go.

    1. You're right! Will fix it to handle this as well as the support for relative directories

    2. Yes, Will integrate a logging library instead of fmt (https://github.com/uber-go/zap)
