A developer created Aegis-DB, a versatile database system designed for deployment on resource-constrained devices like Raspberry Pis. It supports multiple data models including SQL, key-value storage, time series, and graph databases through a single REST API.

Written in Rust, it ensures performance without garbage collection pauses and supports fearless concurrency. The system is deployable as a single binary on various architectures and provides clustering capabilities with leader election and automatic failover mechanisms.
