CrowDB is a Rust-based distributed storage platform that natively implements Iceberg tables and S3 object storage over a shared durable control model, packaged as a single Docker container. It aims to unify ownership, data movement, and recovery across storage access models, with planned AI dataset support. The project is early-stage (3 stars, development preview) but tackles hard distributed storage problems with a cohesive architectural vision.
Target audience: data engineers, backend developers, devops
