Diskv is a simple, persistent key-value store written in Go that stores arbitrary data on the filesystem by key. It layers performance-enhancing abstractions like caching and indexing on top of a conceptually simple disk-backed design.

Use cases

• persist key-value data to disk in a Go application
• store arbitrary binary blobs keyed by string
• embed a simple disk-backed database without a server
• cache data on the filesystem with an in-memory read cache
• organize data files on disk via a custom key-to-path transform

When to choose

• you need a dependency-free, embedded persistent key-value store in Go
• your data should remain readable as flat files on disk
• you want simple API semantics like Read/Write/Erase without running a database server

When to avoid

• you need queries, transactions, or rich data types beyond key-value
• you need concurrent multi-process access or network access to the store
• you need an actively developed project with recent releases
