📣 Welcome to d-engine Discussions!

A space for distributed systems builders using Rust

👋 What is d-engine?

d-engine is a lightweight, strongly consistent Raft consensus engine written in Rust, designed to power reliable and scalable distributed systems. Key features:

• ✅ Strong consistency: Full Raft protocol implementation.
• 🧩 Pluggable storage: Use RocksDB, Sled, in-memory, or your own backend.
• 📊 Observability: Built-in metrics, logging, and distributed tracing.
• ⚡ Resource efficiency: Single-threaded event-driven architecture for minimal overhead.

💬 How to engage

We’re here to:

1. Ask questions: Stuck with Raft state transitions? Storage backend integration? Ask here!
2. Share ideas: Propose new features (e.g., “What if we add a Cassandra storage adapter?”).
3. Debug together: Share metrics/logs to diagnose cluster issues.
4. Showcase: How are you using d-engine? Share your use case!

Example discussion starters:

• “How to optimize single-core performance for write-heavy workloads?”
• “Implementing a custom storage backend: lessons learned”
• “Tracing slow replication in a 5-node cluster”

🚀 Get started

1. Introduce yourself below: What brings you here? (Distributed systems engineer? Hobbyist?)
2. Check resources first:
   • API Docs| Examples
   • Raft Protocol Primer
3. Use labels: Tag discussions with raft-election, raft-replication,performance, or doc.
