Dynamic Sizing/Capacity

[brockelmore]

thanks for your work on this!

Curious if you have any thought on allowing for dynamic database sizes?

libmdbx does this (see here (author is russian and was moved to a russian based competitor after start of Ukraine invasion)), and it provides a good UX from that perspective.

Documentation for their resizing: https://libmdbx.dqdkfa.ru/group__c__settings.html#ga79065e4f3c5fb2ad37a52b59224d583e

On a broader note, there are some other interesting ideas in there that may provide some further inspiration

Yep, sure have! redb already supports dynamic growth as the default, so it should start at ~1MB and then grow as data is inserted. It doesn't support shrinking or offline compaction, but I plan to add at least the latter (#20)

Cool, thanks for the link to libmdbx. That looks like an interesting list of features to consider adding
