LotusDB is an embedded key-value database library written in Go that combines LSM tree and B+ tree storage engines. It aims for fast read/write performance with lower read and space amplification than typical LSM-based stores.
Use cases
- embed a fast key-value store in a Go application
- store key-value data with low read amplification
- replace badger or bbolt with a faster alternative
- persist application state locally in Go
- build a storage engine with combined LSM and B+ tree design
When to choose
- you need an embedded KV store in Go with fast reads and writes
- you want lower space and read amplification than typical LSM stores
- you want a badger or bbolt alternative
When to avoid
- you need a networked or distributed database
- you need SQL or rich queries
- your stack is not Go
