Show HN: Tinykv – Minimal file-backed key-value store for Rust

hasanyildiz Friday, July 04, 2025

I built tinykv because I kept reaching for simple persistent storage in Rust projects but found existing solutions either too complex (sled) or unmaintained (pickledb).

tinykv focuses on simplicity: JSON-based, serde-powered, with optional TTL. Perfect for CLI tools, game saves, config storage.

Would appreciate any feedback from the HN community!

Summary
tinykv is a lightweight, in-memory key-value store written in Rust. It provides basic data management functionalities such as get, put, delete, and scan operations, making it a suitable choice for simple storage needs.
