JunkDB

A key-value store implemented from scratch, inspired by concepts from Designing Data-Intensive Applications.

Phase One

• In this phase, the focus will be on storage/retrieval implementation so I'll build this as a Go library and not a standalone database server.

Scope

• Go api to add, update and delete records

Out of Scope

• Database servers
• Query languages
• Transactions
• Concurrency control

API

• type JunkDB: instance of the database
• func New(filePath): creates a new database connection. If file doesn't exist, a new one is created.
• *JunkDB.Update(key, value): inserts or updates a key
• *JunkDB.Read(key): gets the value stored at key or
