PumpkinDB is an immutable ordered key-value database engine written in Rust, featuring ACID transactions, persistent storage, and an embedded Forth-inspired scripting language (PumpkinScript). It is designed for event sourcing and similar architectures where data, once written, is never overwritten or deleted.

Use cases

• build an event sourcing system with an immutable data store
• store append-only event logs with ACID guarantees
• embed a programmable key-value database in a Rust application
• index and query immutable binary data close to storage
• prototype application-specific databases with a stack-based scripting language

When to choose

• you need strict immutability and a temporal view of your data
• you want to build event-sourced architectures with lazy domain binding
• you prefer processing data near storage via an embedded scripting language

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose mutable relational or document database
• you require production-grade support and active maintenance
• you want a mature ecosystem with drivers and tooling for mainstream stacks
