Transit - A versioned database and durable execution runtime

A developer is building Transit, a versioned database and durable execution runtime written in Zig that combines tables, key-value storage, documents, streams and queues, with a query engine called Fuze, a durable application framework called Station, a SQL console, a browser interface called Board, and SDKs for several languages. The project is pinned to Zig 0.17.0-dev.2267+48abf1a34, with the repository's Nix development environment providing the pinned toolchain, and the developer states AI is used across architecture, implementation, tests and documentation.

Hi everyone! I’m working on Transit (Data, computation and policies | Transit), a versioned database and durable execution runtime written in Zig.

It brings together tables, key-value storage, documents, streams and queues, with a query engine called Fuze and a durable application framework called Station. There’s also a SQL console, a browser interface called Board, and SDKs for several languages.

A few parts of the implementation might be interesting:

It’s early days but feel free to drop thoughts and comments if you find it useful or interesting.

Currently pinned to Zig 0.17.0-dev.2267+48abf1a34. The repository’s Nix development environment provides the pinned toolchain.

I use AI for architecture, implementation, tests and documentation. Its involvement spans the project.
