kvnDB - Key-Value Non-DataBase

kvnDB (pronounced as "Kevin Dee Bee") is not a database. It is a lame embedded in-memory key-value storage with on-demand snapshots and some sort of history keeping.

Features

  • Fast operations. All data is stored in memory. Watch out for OOM
  • Thread/goroutine safe. All operations are done via mutex, so reading and writing data can be done from different routines (but watch out for concurrency)
  • Simple API. Very simple
  • On-demand persistence. Via API data snapshot can be written to disk. Watch for disk space/IO as data written uncompressed
  • Snapshot history. Can maintain desired history of snapshots. See API for Save()

Why

  • When need simple and fast data storage
  • When need that storage also be persisted to disk

Usage

$ go get github.com/akamensky/kvndb
