Kurrent Cloud is a fully managed cloud offering that's designed to make it easy for developers to build and run highly available and secure applications that incorporate KurrentDB without having to worry about managing the underlying infrastructure. You can provision KurrentDB clusters in AWS, Azure, and GCP, and connect these services securely to your own cloud resources.

Kurrent can manage KurrentDB for you, so you don't have to run your own clusters. See the online documentation: Getting started with Kurrent Cloud.

Development is done on the master branch. We attempt to do our best to ensure that the history remains clean and to do so, commits are automatically squashed into a single logical commit when pull requests are merged.

If you want to switch to a particular release, you can check out the release branch for that particular release. For example: git checkout release/v25.0

KurrentDB is written in a mixture of C# and JavaScript. It can run on Windows, Linux and macOS (using Docker) using the .NET Core runtime.

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 10.0

Once you've installed the prerequisites for your system, you can launch a Release build of KurrentDB as follows:

dotnet build -c Release src

To start a single node, you can then run:

dotnet ./src/KurrentDB/bin/Release/net10.0/KurrentDB.dll --dev --db ./tmp/data --index ./tmp/index --log ./tmp/log

You can launch the tests as follows:

dotnet test --solution src/KurrentDB.sln

You can also build a Docker image by running the command:

docker build --tag mykurrentdb . \
--build-arg CONTAINER_RUNTIME={container-runtime}
--build-arg RUNTIME={runtime}

For instance:

docker build --tag mykurrentdb . \
--build-arg CONTAINER_RUNTIME=noble \
--build-arg RUNTIME=linux-x64

Note: Because of the Docker issue, if you're building a Docker image on Windows, you may need to set the DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0 environment variable. For instance, running in PowerShell:

$env:DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0; docker build --tag mykurrentdb . `
--build-arg CONTAINER_RUNTIME=noble `
--build-arg RUNTIME=linux-x64

Currently, we support the following configurations:

1. Noble:

• CONTAINER_RUNTIME=noble
• RUNTIME=linux-x64

You can verify the built image by running:

docker run --rm mykurrentdb --insecure --what-if
