An embeddable C++ persistent key-value store built on an LSM-tree design, tuned for flash and RAM storage.
Why you might care
Use it as the storage engine inside your own server or application when you need fast writes and reads on SSDs with tunable write, read, and space amplification tradeoffs. Multi-threaded compactions suit databases holding multiple terabytes. Dual-licensed under GPLv2 and Apache 2.0, so you can pick either.
