Introduction
KurrentDB, formerly known as EventStoreDB, is an event-native data platform engineered for modern software applications and event-driven architectures. It offers a unique approach to data management by simplifying data modeling and preserving data integrity through its event-native design. The platform also integrates a powerful streaming engine to tackle distributed messaging challenges and ensure data consistency across your systems.
Installation
Getting started with KurrentDB is straightforward. For detailed guidance on installation, development, deployment, and administration, refer to the official User Documentation. You can also explore Kurrent Cloud, a fully managed cloud offering that simplifies running KurrentDB clusters without managing the underlying infrastructure. To build KurrentDB yourself, you'll need the .NET SDK 10.0.
Examples
KurrentDB supports the gRPC protocol and offers a variety of client libraries for different languages, including Python, Node.js, Java, .NET, Go, and Rust. You can find more details in the gRPC clients documentation. After building KurrentDB, you can run a single node using the command:
dotnet ./src/KurrentDB/bin/Release/net10.0/KurrentDB.dll --dev --db ./tmp/data --index ./tmp/index --log ./tmp/log
For a comprehensive guide on setting up instances and clusters, consult the client libraries guide.
Why Use KurrentDB
KurrentDB stands out for its event-native design, which inherently simplifies complex data modeling and guarantees data integrity. Its integrated streaming engine is crucial for solving common distributed messaging problems and maintaining data consistency in highly distributed systems. By embracing event-driven principles, KurrentDB empowers developers to build resilient, scalable, and maintainable applications with greater ease and confidence.
