NubDB Python Client

🚀 Python client for NubDB — a blazing-fast, AOF-based in-memory database written in Zig.

Installation

pip install nubdb

Quick Start

Make sure your NubDB server is running (default: localhost:6379), then:

from nubdb import NubDB

# Connect to NubDB
db = NubDB()

# Set and get values
db.set("name", "Alice")
print(db.get("name"))  # → Alice

# Use TTL (auto-expire in 60 seconds)
db.set("session", "abc123", ttl=60)

# Counters
db.set("views", 0)
db.incr("views")  # → 1
db.incr("views")  # → 2
db.decr("views")  # → 1

# Check existence
db.exists("name")  # → True
db.exists("nope")  # → False

# Database size
db.size()  # → 3

# Delete keys
db.delete("name")

# Close when done
db.close()

Context Manager

from nubdb import NubDB

with NubDB() as db:
    db.set("key", "value")
    print(db.get("key"))
# Connection automatically closed

Configuration

from nubdb import NubDB

# Custom host and port
db = NubDB(host="db.nubcoder.com", port=6379)

# With timeout and retry settings
db = NubDB(
    host="localhost",
    port=6379,
    timeout=10.0,          # Socket timeout (seconds)
    auto_reconnect=True,   # Auto-reconnect on connection loss
    max_retries=5,         # Max reconnection attempts
)

Error Handling

from nubdb import NubDB, ConnectionError, TimeoutError, CommandError

try:
    db = NubDB()
    db.set("key", "value")
except ConnectionError:
    print("Could not connect to NubDB server")
except TimeoutError:
    print("Command timed out")
except CommandError as e:
    print(f"Command failed: {e}")

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Running NubDB server (setup guide)
• Zero dependencies — uses only Python standard library

NubDB Server

NubDB is a high-performance, AOF-based in-memory database written in Zig:

• 100k+ ops/sec throughput
• <5µs SET latency, <1µs GET latency
• AOF persistence with background compaction
• Docker & Kubernetes ready

# Start NubDB server with Docker
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 nubdb:latest

# Or build from source
git clone https://github.com/nub-coders/nubdt.git
cd nubdt && make server
