TinyKV is a Go-based course project where students build a distributed key-value storage system modeled on TiKV, implementing Raft consensus, multi-raft sharding, and distributed transactions. It provides skeleton code completed across four projects, from standalone KV storage to MVCC transaction handling.

Use cases

• learn how Raft consensus works by implementing it
• build a fault-tolerant key-value server
• understand region splitting and cluster scheduling in distributed databases
• implement MVCC and distributed transactions like Percolator
• study TiKV architecture hands-on
• practice distributed systems coursework similar to MIT 6.824

When to choose

• you want a structured, project-based way to learn distributed storage internals
• you are preparing to contribute to or work with TiKV or TiDB
• you need hands-on experience with Raft, snapshotting, conf changes, and distributed transactions

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready key-value store for real workloads
• you want a finished database rather than skeleton code you must complete yourself
• you are looking for a SQL layer, which is covered by the separate TinySQL course
