Other databases written in Go: - TiDB by PingCAP - Vitess by PlanetScale Both are basically only the SQL part as TiDB uses TiKV (written in Rust) and Vitess uses MySQL. For those who want to implement a database in Go but without having to implement a network protocol there is go-mysql, which allows you to do this: https://github.com/go-mysql-org/go-mysql/blob/master/cmd/go-mysqlserver/main.go https://github.com/go-mysql-org/go-mysql/blob/master/cmd/go-... As demonstration I created a networked SQLite: https://github.com/dveeden/go-mysql-examples/blob/main/go-mysqlite/main.go https://github.com/dveeden/go-mysql-examples/blob/main/go-my... Both TiDB and Vitess have parsers that can be used outside standalone. So if you only want to implement your own on disk format, this can help. Note that I'm working for PingCAP on TiDB and I'm also a co-maintainer for go-mysql.
