Building the future of distributed databases in Rust
We're building FerrisDB, an educational distributed database in Rust, to:
- Learn and teach distributed systems concepts through hands-on implementation
- Explore Rust for high-performance systems programming
- Demonstrate AI-assisted development with Claude Code
- Share our journey through open development and documentation
- Create a learning resource for students and developers interested in database internals
- Build a production-quality codebase that showcases Rust best practices
- Document the entire development process from architecture to implementation
- Foster a community around distributed systems education
Building tomorrow's databases, one commit at a time 🚀
