hyperion

a Raft-based distributed reliable key-value database

Overview

now able to spin up multiple HTTP servers with their separate Raft node now

basically how it works is when you start a hyprd node, it will create a HTTP server and a Raft store (node)

the HTTP server will listen for incoming requests (either through curl or hyprctl) and forward them to Raft

Raft then records those requests as a log entry, sends them to other hyprd nodes, agrees on a majority and then applies/commits them to the underlying key-value database (BadgerDB)

for more information on Raft and distributed key value databases check out the docs page

Roadmap

• Create file structure
• Get working DB and spin HTTP server with hyprd
• Implement Raft for consensus between nodes (single node for now)
  • Add support for clustering and replication
• Implement hyprctl CLI to interact with running hyprd nodes
• Add gRPC API support because why not
• Add Docker and Kubernetes support instead of just processes
• Add documentations and useful things I learnt (upkeep as much as possible)
