SharpCoreDB

Story behind the project

SharpCoreDB was built for teams that need a fast local database without external server complexity, while keeping production quality standards.

Problem this solves

For many workloads, a full database cluster is too heavy, while plain JSON files are too limited for reliable queries and transactional flows.

Architecture

Single-file storage engine with SQL parser, transactional write flow, extensible modules, and strong focus on performance.

Lessons learned

Designing performance, security, and developer ergonomics together from day one prevents expensive rework later.
