Another local first library. The movement is taking off.

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

I guess they mean number of frontends times number of backends? https://github.com/buffdb/buffdb/issues/19

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.

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

protobuf

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

I think it has many good parts. There are waaaaay worse formats I have worked with over the years. Like COM, java RMI, many variants of SOAP, handcrafted json in countless variants…

What's an alternative you would recommend?

Yet another title to drive embedded device designers and control engineers up the wall.

Why don't you make up your own bullshit words instead of randomly picking stuff from other places? That's not even multiplexing.
