Announcing KantoDB   (published 2025-04-02)

2025 is the year of Rust in the database!

KantoDB is an OLTP-oriented hybrid SQL database server and programming library. It is written in the Rust programming language, using DataFusion & Arrow for data wrangling and (for now) RocksDB for underlying data storage.

KantoDB is still very early in development. Keep reading, or see the development roadmap for our plans.
