Native REST API
Use CRUD, JSON Merge Patch, bulk writes, collection administration, and queries over standard HTTP.
Distributed by design. Lightweight by default.
DewDB is a NoSQL document database with a native REST API, built to run as a small local binary and scale across replicated, sharded clusters.

One workflow from laptop to cloud
Start with one local node, integrate over HTTP, then scale the topology while your application keeps the same API.

Database essentials
Small binary. Serious storage machinery.
Durable local storage, distributed coordination, and an interface every application already understands.
WAL-backed storage
CRC-protected append-only logging, crash recovery, in-memory indexing, snapshots, and compaction.
Commit-gated visibility
Durable but uncommitted frames remain hidden until acknowledgements advance the collection commit index.
Static hash routing
Optional stateless routers map collection and document IDs to configured shard ranges using xxh64.
Write concerns
Choose w=1, w=majority, w=all, or an explicit acknowledgement count for each write request.
Observable by default
Inspect health, JSON metrics, Prometheus output, structured logs, tracing, and replication state.
Direct HTTP interface
Your database already speaks web
Use ordinary HTTP methods and JSON payloads for documents, queries, health checks, and administration.
