I don't get that. https://gitdot.io/bkdevs/gitdot/gitdot-api/CLAUDE.md they use agent files in every repo directory for the gitdot code.

You can write git in any language, I don't see an advantage doing it in Rust besides the community and potential of promotion to that community.

"Better" is a strong word without proven analysis or some kind of statistic, that honestly caught me off-guard as when you state that I expect something like a product like Bitbucket, obviously as you can imagine. Either way, cool project.

It's pretty honest, some times you have to be.

Show HN: Keybench – Scriptable, extensible performance tool for key value stores

alexpadula — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 23:06:06 +0000

I've been working with storage engines for quite a while and really there was no similar tool to sysbench and or HammerDB for key-value storage engines. Thus I introduce a POC called keybench. I hope you check it out, and do give it a run to drive your favorite engine.

Cheers!

Hello HN, I'm the creator of TidesDB, it's an open-source, fast, embeddable key-value storage engine written in C. It supports ACID transactions, 8 language bindings, runs as a MariaDB storage engine (TideSQL), and can operate cloud-native on S3. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Cheers

Rather confusing, your name has Git in it, “to build what comes after git”, what comes after your own Git product? Good luck.

Hello hn, I’m Alex the creator of TidesDB and over the past few months I’ve been working on putting TidesDB to work inside MariaDB through a plugin which the project is labeled TideSQL.

The project has grown quite a lot where I’d like to share it.

The plugin allows for MariaDB to optimize writes; not leave resources on the table and optionally scale infinitely. In tpc-c benchmarks the plugin shows rather great numbers comparing to MyRocks and InnoDB, you can find this analysis on the TidesDB website.
