KurrentDB is a database that's engineered for modern software applications and event-driven architectures. Its event-native design simplifies data modeling and preserves data integrity while the integrated streaming engine solves distributed messaging challenges and ensures data consistency.

"KurrentDB Client Go" is the client for talking to KurrentDB.

The fastest way to add this client to a project is to run go get github.com/kurrent-io/KurrentDB-Client-Go@latest with go, See INSTALL.md for detailed installation instructions and troubleshooting.

The client is built using the Go programming language. To build the client, you need to have Go installed on your machine. You can download it from the official Go website. Once you have Go installed, you can build the client by running the following command in the root directory of the project:

make build

The build scripts: build.sh and build.ps1 are also available for Linux and Windows respectively to simplify the build process.

Testing requires Docker and Docker Compose to be installed.

Start all required KurrentDB services using the provided docker-compose configuration:

make start-kurrentdb

To stop the services, you can run:

make stop-kurrentdb

You can launch the tests as follows:

make test

Alternatively, you can run the tests using the go test command:

go test ./...

By default, the test suite uses the Docker image: docker.kurrent.io/eventstore/eventstoredb-ee:lts. To run the tests with a different image, set the environment variables listed below.

For example, to use the commercial image docker.kurrentio/eventstore-ee/eventstoredb-commercial:23.10.5-commercialb-bookworm-slim, configure your environment with:
