Lykia is a document database management system built for educational purposes. The famous book, Crafting Interpreters, was the main source of inspiration for the project. It turned into a database, though.

Overview

• 100% safe Rust, #BlazinglyFast
• A weird scripting and query language, combination of JavaScript and SQL. The language is a separate module thus can be used without the database.
• A subset of JSON data types in both scripting language itself and storage
• In-disk and in-memory storage
• ACID compliance
• Replication

Primary goals

• [x] Core scripting language + DML/DDL SQL
• [x] Client and server apps
• [x] A minimal standard library
• [ ] Query planning and binding (in progress)
• [ ] Query execution (in progress)
• [ ] Persistent storage engine (in progress)
• [ ] Transactions and multi-version concurrency control

Phase 2 goals

• [ ] Replication with Raft
• [ ] JIT execution for expression evaluation
• [ ] Query optimization

## Non-goals

• LykiaDB is not (and will not be) a production-grade database.
