A library that provides an embeddable, persistent key-value store for fast storage.
About the project
An embeddable C++ key-value store library with an LSM design, optimized for flash storage and large datasets. It serves as a building block for fast servers and applications needing reliable local persistence.
Useful for
- Embed RocksDB as a local store inside a custom C++ server or application
- Tune WAF/RAF/SAF tradeoffs for a specific read/write workload
- Store multiple terabytes of data in a single database with multi-threaded compactions
