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...

Event metadata format

Leverage map style metadata, used in cloud events that propagate as HTTP/message headers. Having event metadata as JSON sounded like a good idea at a time, but it creates a lot of friction when things need to be retrieved or added, like tracing he...

Custom Indexes

Focus on removing linkto eventsIncludes sequence numbers$allcategoryguarantees on write (optional consistency) from a client perspective also defined by user?

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 ...

Chunk format optimised for reading

The idea is to rewrite the chunk file after it stops accepting writes, so it can handle reads better. Re-sort events in closed chunks to group events of the same stream together for efficient IOPS use. Could also save having to repeat the stream n...

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 ...

SLA for Reads

When reading from followers, allow setting time SLA for the read operation to ensure you get fresh enough data. It helps offloading the read load without imposing too much risk of reading very stale 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...

Server-side snapshots

Stream snapshots is one of the commonly used techniques to improve performance when reading long streams. Currently, developers are required to build snapshotting on their own, although it's quite clear how to do it. ESDB can support server-side s...
