  TiKV is a CNCF-graduated distributed transactional key-value database built
  in Rust with Raft consensus. Originally created to complement TiDB, it
  provides horizontal scalability, strong consistency, and high availability
  with ACID transaction support. Client APIs are available for Java, Rust,
  Python, Go, and C++. An HTTP management API provides status, configuration,
  and monitoring endpoints.
