Go Database Benchmarks

This is a test suite for benchmarking various embedded databases written in Go. We don't store raw bytes, we store structured data. If a database doesn't serialize structured data, we serialize with encoding/json before storing.

Databases

• BadgerDB - a key-value database written in Go
• Bow - a database for structured data, powered by BadgerDB
• Storm - a database for structured data, powered by bbolt

Issues

I'm not sure why Storm is too slow in BenchmarkStormPut. I wouldn't rely on this result yet, I think it needs further investigation.
