I'm working on a Rust project that collects daily statistics for a web-site (number of requests, number of unique users, average latency etc.). I'd like to store this data in a compact key-value store where the key is a date (or a date string) and the value is an object that contain the statistics. I also need this data to be persisted to a file.
I don't have any special performance or storage requirements. That's why I don't want to use major DBs like Redis, MongoDB or Cassandra that require a separate installation and significant resources to run. I'd like something much simpler and lightweight.
The ideal solution for me would be a library that can read and write key-value data and persist it into a file. The data size I'm aiming for is around 1000-2000 records.
Can you recommend a library I can use?
I can recommend PickleDB-rs. I think it answers most of your requirements. PickleDB-rs is a Rust version of Python's PickleDB. It's intended for small DBs (I think 1000-2000 records should be ok) and the performance isn't guaranteed to be as great as large scale DBs, but for the purpose of dumping daily web-site stats into a file it should be sufficient.
