Intro

This is the Github wiki for the VoltDB project. VoltDB is the database component of Volt Active Data, a commercial product that provides both the latest version of VoltDB, plus enterprise-grade features such as command logging, Active(N)® database replication, cloud support and more.

This repository is no longer being updated. However, we offer the basic open source code as is for students, researchers and hobbyists interested in experimenting with an ultra-fast, in-memory database. For those looking to use Volt in a commercial setting, see what our enterprise offerings at Volt Active Data.
