Pancake is a toy database. The project's goal is to learn and experiment with algorithms. As a product, Pancake works, possibly correctly, and mildly fastly.

Features:

• Data model = Document, dynamically typed.
• Each secondary index key definition covers one contiguous sub-portion of values. It is specified by a sequence of integers that inspect within nested tuples.
• Storage data structure = LSM Tree.
• Storage engines:
  • Serial execution.
  • MVCC implementing Serializable Snapshot Isolation (i.e. optimistic locking).
• Distributed:
  • No partitioning or replication, yet.

See doc diagrams.

Starting the server:

cargo run --package pancake_server --bin pancake_server_serial
cargo run --package pancake_server --bin pancake_server_ssi

Accessing the server:

• Simple CRUD by http method. See this sample test script for examples.
• A query language. See this sample test script for examples.
• Transaction expressed as a WASM component. See instruction.
