Moneta is a Ruby library providing a unified interface to many key/value stores, including NoSQL and document databases. It supports configurable serialization, compression, and expiration via a proxy stack, plus atomic operations and distributed synchronization primitives.

Use cases

• swap key/value backends without changing application code
• add caching to a Rails or Sinatra app with a pluggable store
• benchmark and compare different key/value stores
• add TTL/expiration to stores that lack native support
• implement distributed locks with Moneta::Mutex
• serialize and compress values transparently across backends

When to choose

• you need one consistent API over multiple key/value stores in Ruby
• you want swappable cache or session stores across frameworks
• you need atomic increments or distributed mutexes on top of a KV store

When to avoid

• you use a non-Ruby language
• you need advanced store-specific features not exposed by the unified API
• you need a full-featured ORM or document query layer
