BuffDB is a Rust library to simplify multi-plexing on edge devices

I think it's a proxy between your software and SQLite with a new database API. I guess "multiplexing" is a big word for saying you can someday swap SQLite for something else.

The CLI shows key-value store features.

I don't know if this software has real world savings in performance. I don't think I would ever use this software.

What does "Simplify multiplexing on edge devices" even mean?

Like if you want your frontend to write to both Sqlite and RocksDB?

Is it a protobuf based database store, or is it a database that uses grpc as its connection communication? Could be a bit clearer from the frontpage

such an awful format, I wish people would stop using it

Why?

The format is not that bad.

The binding/libraries OTOH are often awful and they often require unnecessary full-message deserialization
