Summary
DriftDB is an experimental append-only database written in Rust that features built-in time travel capabilities, allowing users to query any historical state using AS OF clauses. It ensures data integrity through CRC-verified segments, provides secondary indexes for fast lookups, and offers crash-safe atomic writes with fsync on segment boundaries. The database uses a simple query language called DriftQL and includes features like snapshots and compaction for query optimization.
