## What it is
Rust bindings for RocksDB, the embedded key-value store, statically linked with a specific RocksDB version. It exposes RocksDB features like column families and configurable compression codecs (Snappy, LZ4, Zstd, Zlib, Bzip2) through crate features.

## Use cases
- use rocksdb from rust
- embed a key-value store in a rust application
- persistent storage with column families in rust
- fast local database with lz4 or zstd compression
- build a storage engine on top of rocksdb in rust

## When to choose
- you need RocksDB's performance and features from Rust code
- you want an embedded, statically linked key-value store without running a separate database server
- you need configurable compression algorithms or multithreaded column family management

## When to avoid
- you need a network-accessible database server rather than an embedded library
- you want a pure-Rust key-value store without C++ build dependencies like Clang/LLVM
- your workload fits a simpler embedded store such as SQLite or sled

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database, database-driver, caching
- domain: databases, developer-tools
- platform: rust, windows, cross-platform
- tags: rocksdb, key-value-store, bindings, embedded-database, column-family, compression, linux, macos
