dddb (3db) Lightweight Database Server

This project is a lightweight, real-time database server inspired by MongoDB but designed to be simpler and more compact, written entirely in C. It aims to provide basic database functionalities with support for real-time features, allowing applications to interact with the database and receive updates in real time.

Current Status:
The project is still a work in progress. Some functionalities, especially the data retrieval and storage methods, are not fully optimized yet. Additionally, index support will be introduced in future versions to enhance query performance.

Features

• Real-time Updates: Clients can subscribe to changes in the database and receive notifications when data changes.
• Simple Storage: Basic operations for storing and retrieving JSON-like data.

Roadmap

• Optimization: Current methods, such as finding and retrieving data, are not optimized and could be slow on larger datasets.
• Indexing: Future versions will introduce support for indexes to improve query performance.
• Authentication: Basic authentication is in place (a POC), but more secure methods will be developed.

Get Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your system:

• GCC (or any C compiler)
• libevent library (not required now)
• make

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/dinyad-prog00/dddb.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd dddb/dddb

3. Build the project using make:

   make

4. Run the server:

   make run

Debugging

If you want to run the server with GDB for debugging purposes:

make debug

Additional Components

• Node.js Driver: The project includes a Node.js driver located in drivers/nodejs/dddb. To install and use the driver locally, refer to the instructions in drivers/nodejs/dddb/README.md.

• CLI Client: A command-line interface (CLI) client called dddbsh (DDDB Shell) is available in clients/dddbsh. This client allows you to interact with the 3DB server from the terminal. Refer to clients/dddbsh/README.md

  

  

• Node.js Test Project: A Node.js test project is included in the repository under test-project to demonstrate usage of the Node.js driver and interact with the 3DB server.
