Hi All, I'm happy to announce the alpha release of 'FleetDB', a schema-free database implemented in Clojure and optimized for agile development.
>From the homepage at http://fleetdb.org: "FleetDB offers a flexible and expressive data model designed for the needs of modern application developers; a combination of schema-free records, declarative queries, automatically maintained indexes, and an optimizing query planner make it easy to manipulate and retrieve data. By keeping all data in RAM as persistent data structures, FleetDB is able to offer multi-document transactions, excellent concurrency semantics, and high performance. Writing to an append-only log provides durability in the form of a single file that can be transfered and analyzed using standard Unix tools. FleetDB is accessible via a simple JSON-based protocol that is implemented by clients in several programming languages." FleetDB combines ideas from existing databases with several of its own, implementing them all in terms of Clojure's powerful persistent data structure and sequence libraries. I think the result is an expressive, performant, and easy-to-use database. If you'd like to learn more and about FleetDB and using it from Clojure applications, please see http://fleetdb.org/docs/introduction.html and the other documentation on http://fleetdb.org. If you're interested in how FleetDB takes advantage of Clojure's persistent data structures, I encourage you read http://fleetdb.org/docs/implementation.html. I am very interested in hearing any comments you have about FleetDB and would be happy to answer your questions. I'd also be interested in hearing any general thoughts that you have about using schema-free databases from Clojure. Finally, I'll be speaking about FleetDB at the Bay Area Clojure Users Group's January 7th meetup [1]; perhaps I'll see some of you there.
