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...

Policy-based authorisation

ACLs are hard to manage because they are stream specific. Adding poicies that would cover things like category would make authorisation a lot easier to set up.

Handle backpressure

ESDB can be overloaded with read/write operations and it has no limitations enforced on the edge to prevent this. The idea is to set the connection limit (in general or per operation) and deny requests when the limit is exceeded. It will improve t...

Replication between clusters

Allow one cluster to mirror another. Could be similar to read-only replica, but instead of a single node that is known to the source cluster, the mirror would be a read-only replicated cluster. One use of it is to enable faster reads. If the "oper...

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...

Scheduled Index Merge

ESDB has an option to disabled automatic index merge, so users can do it manually. Usually, this option is enabled because automatic index merge can start at any time, and it might also get running on all the nodes at the same time. Since it's an ...

Multiple databases

Allow having multiple logs (databases) physically separated from each other. That would include different set of users, authorisation rules, etc. It would enable: deleting a specific database instead of cleaning up the whole cluster separate data ...

Tiered Storage and Archive

Introduction In today's data-driven world, the storage and management of events play a crucial role in various industries. However, storing all events indefinitely can be both space-intensive and costly. To address this challenge, we propose the i...

Realtime logs

Add an API (and UI) for looking at ESDB logs real-time for easier diagnostics. It should support filters by log level and message (regex), as well as the emitting subsystem.
