Limbo Is An SQLite-Compatible OLTP DBMS Leveraging IO_uring & Rust
For fans of SQLite and/or new database solutions, Limbo is an in-development, open-source OLTP database management system that is compatible with SQLite while written in the Rust programming language and leveraging Linux's IO_uring for async I/O.
Pekka Enberg who previously was involved with Apache Cassandra and ScyllaDB as well as being the Linux kernel's SLAB maintainer has been part of the development team exploring serverless runtime databases with asynchronous I/O. It will be very interesting to see where the Limbo database functionality and adoption grows from here.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
