Learn how to install librust-crdts-dev on Debian 12 with this tutorial. librust-crdts-dev is practical, serializable, thoroughly tested CRDTs - Rust source code

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install librust-crdts-dev on Debian 12.

What is librust-crdts-dev

librust-crdts-dev is:

crdts provides a family of thoroughly tested hybrid CRDTs supporting both State and Op based replication.

In distributed computing, a conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) is a data structure that is replicated across multiple computers in a network, with the following features:

  • The application can update any replica independently, concurrently and without coordinating with other replicas.
  • An algorithm (itself part of the data type) automatically resolves any inconsistencies that might occur.
  • Although replicas may have different state at any particular point in time, they are guaranteed to eventually converge.

There are two approaches to CRDTs - operation-based CRDTs and state-based CRDTs. Both provide strong eventual consistency; the former is more more efficient to distribute, whereas the latter is simpler to design and implement.

This package contains the source for the Rust crdts crate, packaged for use with cargo and dh-cargo.
