dolthub/dolt

Dolt is a version-controlled SQL database that integrates Git-like version control operations (branching, merging, committing) directly into a MySQL-compatible interface. It provides a comprehensive CLI and SQL API for managing database schemas, data, and metadata, while also supporting remote storage backends and replication. The system includes extensive tooling for performance benchmarking, CI workflows, and administrative tasks, all built on a modular Go architecture.

This period marks the release of Dolt 1.0, introducing Git-like version control for SQL databases alongside the DoltHub ecosystem. The codebase underwent a massive architectural refactoring, including a new CLI argument parsing system, structured error handling, and a modernized storage layer with FlatBuffers and NBS improvements. Additionally, the project expanded its data import/export capabilities and established robust testing and utility frameworks.

This period focused on the foundational shift to the Prolly tree storage format, introducing new data structures for tables, indexes, and commit history. The SQL engine was refactored to support these changes, adding new system tables, stored procedures, and expression evaluation logic. Concurrently, the codebase expanded its testing and performance benchmarking capabilities to validate the new storage layer and compatibility with external clients.

This period focused on establishing a robust CI workflow via the new 'dolt ci' command and expanding test coverage for compatibility and corruption scenarios. The team also introduced a suite of Go utility packages for concurrency, configuration, and system management, while refactoring core components like the table editor and schema compatibility checks.
