Kache is a build cache system for Rust and C/C++ that acts as a transparent compiler wrapper (via RUSTC_WRAPPER or as a drop-in for cc/c++). It caches compilation artifacts using content-addressed storage with Blake3 hashing, enabling zero-copy restoration via reflinks/hardlinks/copies. The system features a daemon for asynchronous remote operations (S3/filesystem), a CLI/TUI for cache management and monitoring, and advanced capabilities like dependency chain analysis for cache misses, extra inputs for user-defined cache key influences, and predictive prefetching. Architecture-wise, it consists of a compiler wrapper core, a background daemon, a remote planning service (kache-service), and extensive testing/benchmarking harnesses. The code demonstrates strong craftsmanship in areas like cache key normalization, zero-copy restoration strategies, and compiler abstraction patterns.
CXDB is a context database for AI agents, designed to store and manage conversation histories, tool outputs, and provenance metadata. It uses a Turn DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) for immutable turn storage, content-addressed blob storage (BLAKE3) for payload deduplication, and a type registry for forward-compatible schema evolution with msgpack projection. The system is multi-tier: a Rust server handling binary protocol and HTTP APIs, a Go gateway providing OAuth authentication and proxying, and a React/Next.js frontend for visualization and debugging. Clients are provided in Go and Rust. The architecture emphasizes crash-safety through append-only logs, efficient branching (O(1) fork), and real-time event streaming via SSE. While the codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices, there are notable gaps between documentation and implementation—HTTP write paths and idempotency enforcement are documented but not yet built. This is a production-grade application, not a research artifact, and is actively maintained by StrongDM.
