AllocDB


AllocDB is a deterministic, specialized database designed for resource allocation workloads, targeting scenarios requiring strict 'one resource, one winner' semantics under high contention. It aims to prevent race conditions and double allocations common in general-purpose databases and key-value stores.

AllocDB


AllocDB is a deterministic, specialized database designed for resource allocation workloads, targeting scenarios requiring strict 'one resource, one winner' semantics under high contention. It aims to prevent race conditions and double allocations common in general-purpose databases and key-value stores.

History


The project was initiated as an exploration into systems engineering using AI-human co-engineering. The core implementation was generated using GitHub Copilot Codex under strict architectural constraints and safety invariants, with a focus on deterministic simulation and Jepsen testing to validate stability before release.
