Generics and Compile-Time in Rust

This is the second episode of the Rust Compile Time series. Brian Anderson, one of Rust's original authors, talks about monomorphization, using the TiKV project as a case study.

The Rust Compilation Model Calamity

In this first episode of the Rust Compile time series, Brian Anderson, one of Rust's original authors, shares with you his researches and experiences with Rust compile times, using the TiKV project as a case study.

Titan: A RocksDB Plugin to Reduce Write Amplification

As a RocksDB plugin for key-value separation, inspired by WiscKey, Titan is available for preview in TiDB 3.0. This post introduces the design and implementation of Titan.

Implement Raft in Rust

As an open-source distributed scalable HTAP database, TiDB uses the Raft Consensus Algorithm in its distributed transactional key-value storage engine, TiKV, to ensure data consistency, auto-failover, and fault tolerance. TiDB has thus far been used by more than 200 companies in their production environments in a wide range of industries, from e-commerce and food delivery, to fintech, media, gaming, and travel.

Why did we choose Rust over Golang or C/C++ to develop TiKV?

Every developer has his/her favorite programming language. For the TiKV team members, it's Rust.

The Design and Implementation of Multi-raft

The goal of TiKV is to support 100 TB+ of data and it is impossible for one Raft group to make it, we need to use multiple Raft groups, which is called Multi-raft.

A TiKV Source Code Walkthrough – Raft in TiKV

TiKV uses the Raft algorithm to implement the strong consistency of data in a distributed environment. This blog introduces the details how Raft is implemented.
