765,846 Writes/Second Was a Lie: Building a Crash-Safe Key-Value Store With Only Rust's Standard Library
WAL recovery only covers one failure window — the append path. Compaction opens a second, independent one, and it isn't a StoneKV-specific edge case. Production LSM engines carry the same window and close it the same general way. LevelDB's VersionSet::LogAndApply() durably writes and syncs a version edit before RemoveObsoleteFiles() ever runs; RocksDB's MANIFEST plays the equivalent role as the durable source of truth for live versus obsolete file state.

Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025
Porting LevelDB[1] to Seastar[2], for internal metadata storage in Redpanda[3]. Before you ask why can’t something off the shelf be used, seastar has unique constraints around its runtime and its memory allocator that means we can’t reuse an existing library.

Meet Spuddy 🥔
The real-time sync of Spuddy is currently powered by a manual deployment of y-websocket-server on Fly.io. It's annoying to manage, as y-websocket-server depends on a seldom used DB - leveldb, which doesn't have much tooling around it. Moreover, as this is YJS, and I am using React, I had to roll my own hooks & integration from React to YJS - all of it is fairly ugly code.

Codebases to read
I'm partial to how cleanly written https://github.com/google/leveldb is. It is a reasonable size to fully read & grok in not too long.
