You can try it with Docker Compose in a few minutes. Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT<p>Hello,</p> <p>After almost 3 years of development, the first developer preview of Kronotop is out!</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Kronotop uses RESP2 and RESP3 as the wire protocol, so it’s compatible with the existing RESP ecosystem.</p> <p>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.</p> <div><h2 id="try-it">Try it</h2></div> <p>Run a demo cluster with Docker Compose, then insert a document and read it back:</p> <div><figure><figcaption><span></span></figcaption><pre><code><div><div><span>curl</span><span> </span><span>-O</span><span> </span><span>https://kronotop.com/kronotop-quickstart.yaml</span></div></div><div><div><span>docker</span><span> </span><span>compose</span><span> </span><span>-f</span><span> </span><span>kronotop-quickstart.yaml</span><span> </span><span>up</span></div></div></code></pre></figure></div> <p>The <a href="https://kronotop.com/docs/quickstart/">Quickstart</a> covers the rest: how to connect and run your first query.</p> <p>Questions and feedback are welcome on <a href="https://discord.gg/VPRNvdh2C">Discord</a>.</p>release
