Kimberlite

Compliance-native database for regulated industries.

Kimberlite is built on a replicated append-only log with deterministic projection to a custom storage engine. This provides:

• Correctness by design - Ordered log → deterministic apply → snapshot
• Full audit trail - Every mutation is captured in the immutable log
• Point-in-time recovery - Replay from any offset
• Compliance by construction - Built-in durability and encryption

Quick Start

use kimberlite::{Kimberlite, TenantId, DataClass};

// Open database
let db = Kimberlite::open("./data")?;

// Get tenant handle
let tenant = db.tenant(TenantId::new(1));

// Create a stream
let stream_id = tenant.create_stream("events", DataClass::Public)?;

// Append events
tenant.append(stream_id, vec![b"event1".to_vec(), b"event2".to_vec()], Offset::ZERO)?;

// Query (point-in-time support)
let results = tenant.query("SELECT * FROM events LIMIT 10", &[])?;

Modules
