BonsaiDb Server

BonsaiDb's networked database implementation.

This crate implements BonsaiDb's networked database implementation. The Server and CustomServer<Backend> types provide their most common functionality by implementing the StorageConnection.

This crate supports two methods for exposing a BonsaiDb server: QUIC and WebSockets.

QUIC is a new protocol built atop UDP. It is designed to operate more reliably than TCP, and features TLS built-in at the protocol level. WebSockets are an established protocol built atop TCP and HTTP.

Our user's guide has a section covering setting up and accessing a BonsaiDb server.

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

While this project is alpha, we are actively adopting the current version of Rust. The current minimum version is 1.58, and we plan on updating the MSRV to implement namespaced Features as soon as the feature is released.
