Though the documentation has plenty of introductory material and examples on how to use the code, it lacks on the "what can this help me solve" side of things. The examples in section 5 sort of get in to it but it would be nice to have that as part of the introduction to this project. Just from reading it it's not entirely clear what I could or should use this for.
- thawkins 10y agoWhat does this get you that etcd does not.
- daenney 10y agoThis would be simpler than etcd in that it's not a distributed key/value store but a local-only thing. It's also not a key/value store but more of a graph database and allows you to validate the configuration with predefined schema's (in its own terms), something etcd doesn't do for you.
- rixed 10y agoI plead guilty for this. :) Indeed, this is a friend's project that wasn't intended to be publicly released. I was initially very sceptical about a "tree DB for configuration" as well, but I have been given a demo and eventually considered it interesting and worthwhile, therefore convinced him that he would gather interesting opinions on "Show HN". I'm sure a better version of the documentation (and the code) will be available soon.
