Feb 2025: first encounter with coding
oct 2025: started learning rust
Jan 2026: production grade distributed kv store with transactions, enterprise security, durability, etc
I’ve put a lot of work into this over the past year—learning from established open source projects and carefully testing every feature to build something robust and reliable. For now, this is still a passion and learning project, but I do hope that, eventually, it can mature enough to be used in real-world production—maybe even in enterprise contexts someday.
There’s still a long way to go, and I’m definitely open to feedback and suggestions from anyone who’d like to help me improve.
All the code, architecture, logic, and design in minikv were written by me, 100% by hand. I did use AI tools only for a small part of the documentation—specifically the README, LEARNING.md, and RAM_COMMUNITY.md files—to help structure the content and improve clarity.
But for all the source code (Rust), tests, and implementation, I wrote everything myself, reviewing and designing every part.
Let me know if you want details or want to look at a specific part of the code!
I'm all for using the tools available, but I don't understand lying about it.

The “fix_ci_complete…” script was written (by me) to patch some CI integration issues—if the style looks generic, it’s probably because it’s a standard shell script pattern. I haven’t used LLMs to write or patch any code in minikv; any fix or automation was written and debugged manually.
If there’s something specific in the script that seems suspect, I’m happy to explain or walk through it line by line.
Again, all implementation code in minikv is mine, and I’m always open to reviewing anything that looks unclear—transparency is important to me.
