What

• This is a key-value store exposed via an Axum HTTP API and persisted on disk via meilisearch/heed.

Why

• I wanted to learn more about Rust and Axum, so I decided to build a simple key-value store.

Usage

• You can use it by running cargo run in the root directory of the project. This will start the server at localhost:3000.

Configuration

• You can configure the server by setting the following environment variables:
  • DB_PATH: The directory to store the data in. Defaults to ./db/heed.mdb.

Backup / Restore

• You can backup the data by copying the DB_PATH directory.
• You can restore the data by replacing the DB_PATH directory with the backup.
• This can easily be stored in S3/R2 blob storage.

TODO

• Add tests
• Conform to proper REST API standards
• Add more documentation
• Add more configuration options
• Add more error handling
• Add more logging
• Add more metrics
• Add more security
• Add more validation
