GhostDB 👻

A simple in-memory key value database built with Rust 🦀

Demo

GhostDB Shell Demo

Documentation

This project is a workspace built by two systems and a library.

The library is Ghost DB itself, responsible for managing data on disk. Both systems are responsible for using the library; the Shell system is a CLI that provides an interface to connect and manipulate the database. On the other hand, HTTP Server is an simple API to make possible an integration.
