Support running ESDB on ARM64 Linux distributions

Substantial population of developers use Apple computers with ARM chip, and they currently cannot run ESDB locally even in Docker. We do have an "alpha" image but nobody gives any guarantees that everything works there. By providing a supported im...

Store some configuration in the database

ESDB is primarily configured using the config file, which is located on each cluster node. Some features (projections, connectors) are configured in the database itself. It can be confusing to understand where things are configured and why some co...

Support authorisation when reading from $all

Currently, reads and subscriptions to $all require admin access, which isn't good for security. Supporting auth for $all will have performance impact when ACLs are used, but in combination with policies it could be fast enoguh because policies, un...

Automated Scavenging

Scavenging is a routine maintenance operation in ESDB, but it requires DB admins to run it either manually or using some automation like curl call to the DB API executed by cron. It's not only inconvinient, but also isn't optimal as scavenging nor...

Encryption At Rest

Encryption at rest is a feature that won't be immensely popular, but those who need it won't be able to use ESDB without it. Some certifications like HIPAA require encryption at rest. Encrypting data directly in the database is different compared ...
