CaskDB is an educational, disk-based, embedded key-value store in Python based on Riak's Bitcask paper, built with only the standard library. It is designed as a workshop project to teach beginners how to build a persistent database, not for production use.
Use cases
- learn how a disk-based key-value store works
- build your own persistent KV store in a workshop
- study the Bitcask log-structured hash table design
- embed a simple persistent key-value store in a Python project
- teach database internals to beginners
- understand how database files stay platform and language independent
When to choose
- you want to learn database storage engine internals hands-on
- you need a tiny, dependency-free embedded KV store for experimentation
- you are running or following a database-building workshop
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade database with range scans or compaction
- your dataset has many keys and RAM usage matters
- you need fast startup times or multi-file storage
- you need an installable package from PyPI
