Shelf is a database written in rust and that uses GraphQL for it's api and migrations. Graphql makes it easy to describe the data resources you want to fetch. Shelf expands that power to simple let ypu describe your data and then have the persistence automatically generated for you

However what makes this database even more powerful is the ecosystem surrounding GraphQL. You dont need any specific client to access this database. All you have to do is take the GraphQL Schema and use you favourite tool to generate the client for you. You can use JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#, Rust, Go and probably most other languages that are out there!

The GraphQL api is compatible with both the Apollo standard and Facebooks Relay specification. Most list resources are paginated using cursor based pagination

The easiest way to add Shelfdb to you cluster is by using our helm script. Assuming you have helm installed (How to install), you can run the following command

helm install --repo https://shelfdb.netlify.com shelfdb

You can also run Shelfdb locally using the following docker compose file. Really nice for some local experimentation

version: '3'
services:
  shelfdb:
    image: "joatin/shelfdb:latest"
    ports:
      - "5600:5600"
