Centric is a lightweight, high performance, memory safe database management system designed for high workloads. It prioritizes predictable latency, durability, and secure by default operation while keeping resource usage minimal.
Key goals:
- Fast and consistent operations with durable writes
- Minimal footprint with memory-safe implementation
- Simple text protocol and CLI for immediate use
- Clear upgrade path to advanced indexing and SQL
Quick start:
- Build the workspace
- Run the server
- Use the CLI to interact
- Optional: run the REST API server
