Show HN: KantoDB, a Postgres-compatible OLTP database using DataFusion and Rust

KantoDB, a Postgres-compatible OLTP database using DataFusion and Rust is a company in show hn launch.

Profile

I'm writing a brand-new OLTP database with Rust, DataFusion and RocksDB. It's both a Postgres-compatible SQL server and a Rust library that takes SQL and returns Arrow RecordBatches[0]. Apache-2 licensed.Close enough to Postgres that apps think it's Postgres, but also runnable as a library like SQLite -- best of both worlds! And then if you're willing to not limit yourself to Postgres compatibility, you also get fancy new technologies like unsigned integers in a database! (Old SQL ecosystem is sometimes ridiculous.)It's still very early days, but it's exciting! The darn thing already works as a SQL database — largely because it’s just DataFusion’s query engine and me feeding it table scans.

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
