Kronotop developer preview is out!

Hello,

After almost 3 years of development, the first developer preview of Kronotop is out!

Kronotop is a distributed multi-model database built on FoundationDB. It provides a document model (Bucket) and an ordered key-value model (ZMap). Both live inside namespaces and share one transaction boundary.

Kronotop uses RESP2 and RESP3 as the wire protocol, so it’s compatible with the existing RESP ecosystem.

Please note that this is a developer preview: the architecture and the transaction model are stable, but APIs and internal formats can still change before the first stable release.

Run a demo cluster with Docker Compose, then insert a document and read it back:

Terminal window
curl -O https://kronotop.com/kronotop-quickstart.yaml
docker compose -f kronotop-quickstart.yaml up

The Quickstart covers the rest: how to connect and run your first query.

Questions and feedback are welcome on Discord.
