Introduction

SlateDB is an embedded storage engine built as a log-structured merge-tree. Unlike traditional LSM-tree storage engines, SlateDB writes data to object storage (S3, GCS, ABS, MinIO, Tigris, and so on). Leveraging object storage allows SlateDB to provide bottomless storage capacity, high durability, and easy replication. The trade-off is that object storage has a higher latency and higher API cost than local disk.

To mitigate high write API costs (PUTs), SlateDB batches writes. Rather than writing every put() call to object storage, MemTables are flushed periodically to object storage as a string-sorted table (SST). The flush interval is configurable.

put() returns a Future that resolves when the data is durably persisted. Clients that prefer lower latency at the cost of durability can instead use put_with_options with await_durable set to false.

To mitigate read latency and read API costs (GETs), SlateDB will use standard LSM-tree caching techniques: in-memory block caches, compression, bloom filters, and local SST disk caches.

Get Started

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
slatedb = "*"
tokio = "*"

Then you can use SlateDB in your Rust code:

use slatedb::Db;
use slatedb::config::DbOptions;
use slatedb::SlateDBError;
use slatedb::object_store::{ObjectStore, memory::InMemory};
use std::sync::Arc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), SlateDBError> {
    // Setup
    let object_store: Arc<dyn ObjectStore> = Arc::new(InMemory::new());
    let options = DbOptions::default();
    let kv_store = Db::open_with_opts(
        "/tmp/test_kv_store",
        options,
        object_store,
    )
    .await?;

    // Put
    let key = b"test_key";
    let value = b"test_value";
    kv_store.put(key, value).await?;

    // Get
    assert_eq!(
        kv_store.get(key).await?,
        Some("test_value".into())
    );

    // Delete
    kv_store.delete(key).await?;
    assert!(kv_store.get(key).await?.is_none());

    kv_store.put(b"test_key1", b"test_value1").await?;
    kv_store.put(b"test_key2", b"test_value2").await?;
    kv_store.put(b"test_key3", b"test_value3").await?;
    kv_store.put(b"test_key4", b"test_value4").await?;

    // Scan over unbound range
    let mut iter = kv_store.scan::<Vec<u8>, _>(..).await?;
    let mut count = 1;
    while let Ok(Some(item)) = iter.next().await {
        assert_eq!(
            item.key,
            format!("test_key{count}").into_bytes()
        );
        assert_eq!(
            item.value,
            format!("test_value{count}").into_bytes()
        );
        count += 1;
    }

    // Scan over bound range
    let mut iter = kv_store.scan("test_key1"..="test_key2").await?;
    assert_eq!(
        iter.next().await?,
        Some((b"test_key1", b"test_value1").into())
    );
    assert_eq!(
        iter.next().await?,
        Some((b"test_key2", b"test_value2").into())
    );

    // Seek ahead to next key
    let mut iter = kv_store.scan::<Vec<u8>, _>(..).await?;
    let next_key = b"test_key4";
    iter.seek(next_key).await?;
    assert_eq!(
        iter.next().await?,
        Some((b"test_key4", b"test_value4").into())
    );
    assert_eq!(iter.next().await?, None);

    // Close
    kv_store.close().await?;

    Ok(())
}

SlateDB uses the object_store crate to interact with object storage, and therefore supports any object storage that implements the ObjectStore trait. You can use the crate in your project to interact with any object storage that implements the ObjectStore trait. SlateDB also re-exports the object_store crate for your convenience.
