GSoC 2026 Project Ideas

[adwait-godbole]

Hi!

Since kvrocks has been actively participating in GSoC for the past 2 years, I was curious to know if there are any project ideas under discussion for the upcoming GSoC 2026?

Thanks :)

Hi @git-hulk @PragmaTwice,
Following up on the GSoC 2026 discussion: I am very eager to apply for Apache Kvrocks!
To get familiar with the codebase, I recently submitted PR #3393 (adding IFEQ/IFNE options for SET command). My technical background focuses on C++ and storage optimization. I previously built a high-performance KV engine from scratch (GitHub: kirito632/MinKV), featuring WAL persistence, Snapshot recovery, sharding concurrency, and SIMD (AVX2) acceleration (~2.5M+ QPS peak on cloud servers).
Could you confirm if there are any C++ related ideas open this year (e.g., storage engine optimizations, cloud backup like GSOC-276, or SIMD integration)? I'd love to start drafting my proposal ASAP and discuss potential scope with mentors.
Thanks in advance!
