Show HN: Ayder – HTTP-native durable event log written in C (curl as client)

I built Ayder — a single-binary, HTTP-native durable event log written in C. The wedge is simple: curl is the client (no JVM, no ZooKeeper, no thick client libs).

There’s a 2-minute demo that starts with an unclean SIGKILL, then restarts and verifies offsets + data are still there.

Numbers (3-node Raft, real network, sync-majority writes, 64B payload): ~50K msg/s sustained (wrk2 @ 50K req/s), client P99 ~3.46ms. Crash recovery after SIGKILL is ~40–50s with ~8M offsets.

Repo link has the video, benchmarks, and quick start. I’m looking for a few early design partners (any event ingestion/streaming workload).
