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.

For guidance on installation, development, deployment, and administration, see the User Documentation.
Follow the getting started guide.
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.
This guide shows you how to get started with KurrentDB by setting up an instance or cluster and configuring it. KurrentDB supports the gRPC protocol.

Development is done on the master branch.
We attempt to do our best to ensure that the history remains clean and to do so, we generally ask contributors to squash their commits into a set or single logical commit.
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/oss-v22.10
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
Once you've installed the prerequisites for your system, you can launch a Release build of KurrentDB as follows:
dotnet build -c Release src
The build scripts: build.sh and build.ps1 are also available for Linux and Windows respectively to simplify the build process.
To start a single node, you can then run:
dotnet ./src/KurrentDB/bin/x64/Release/net8.0/KurrentDB.dll --dev --db ./tmp/data --index ./tmp/index --log ./tmp/log
You can launch the tests as follows:
dotnet test src/EventStore.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=bookworm-slim \
--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=bookworm-slim `
--build-arg RUNTIME=linux-x64
Currently, we support the following configurations:
- Bookworm slim:
CONTAINER_RUNTIME=bookworm-slimRUNTIME=linux-x64
- Jammy:
CONTAINER_RUNTIME=JammyRUNTIME=linux-x64
- Alpine:
CONTAINER_RUNTIME=alpineRUNTIME=linux-musl-x64
You can verify the built image by running:
docker run --rm mykurrentdb --insecure --what-if
