hydrant

hydrant is an AT Protocol indexer built on the fjall database. it's built to be flexible, supporting both full-network indexing and filtered indexing (e.g., by DID), allowing querying with XRPCs (not only com.atproto.*!), providing an ordered event stream, etc. oh and it can also act as a relay!

you can see random.wisp.place (standalone binary using http API) or the statusphere example (hydrant-as-library) for examples. for rust docs look at https://hydrant.klbr.net/ for now.

WARNING: the db format is only partially stable. we provide migrations in hydrant itself, so nothing should go wrong! you should still probably keep backups just in case!

what's here#

• vs tap: comparison against tap, the go sync utility
• getting started: building, running, reverse proxying
• configuration: all environment variables
• build features: optional cargo features (relay, backlinks, etc.)
• concepts: how the stream works, relay comparison, multi-relay support
• rest api: management API reference
• xrpc: data access via XRPC
