Pogreb is an embedded key-value store written in pure Go, optimized for fast random lookups and infrequent bulk inserts in read-heavy workloads. It stores larger-than-memory data sets with low memory usage and is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.

Use cases

• embed a fast key-value store in a Go application
• store larger-than-memory datasets with low memory usage
• fast random lookups for read-heavy workloads
• simple local persistence without running a database server
• replace bolt/badger/goleveldb for point-lookup-heavy workloads

When to choose

• your workload is dominated by point lookups rather than range scans
• you want a dependency-free, pure-Go embedded store
• you need low memory usage and larger-than-memory storage
• you need concurrent-safe access from multiple goroutines

When to avoid

• you need range scans or ordered iteration
• you have write-heavy workloads with frequent bulk inserts
• you need fast crash recovery for very large databases
• you need multi-process access to the same database
