SpacetimeDB 2.0 — In-memory relational DB+server for real-time apps (Rust, non-standard license)
trending-repo
MEDIUM
SpacetimeDB 2.0 (released February 2026) is a Rust-based in-memory relational database that embeds the application server inside the database. Clients connect directly and run logic inside the DB. 150,000+ TPS for Rust modules. 24,402 stars, last commit April 8, 2026. Architecture eliminates the traditional app-server tier — all state held in memory with commit-log durability. License is non-standard (NOASSERTION in GitHub API — likely BSL or custom). 765 open issues. Interesting as an architectural reference for ODS Workflow Engine and real-time sync in DocSign desktop client (Tauri), but the non-standard license requires legal review before adoption.

ODS Impact
Architectural reference for Workflow Engine (real-time state sync) and DocSign Tauri desktop client (collaborative editing). Not a direct replacement for PostgreSQL in ODS — ODS requires schema-per-tenant with RLS, which SpacetimeDB does not support in its current model. Monitor for license clarification.
