Speedb is a high-performance embedded key-value storage engine that is 100% RocksDB compatible and works as a drop-in replacement library. It is optimized for modern storage hardware and large-scale workloads, offering improved write performance, stabilized throughput, and reduced memory consumption.

Use cases

• replace rocksdb with a faster drop-in key-value store
• handle massive random write workloads without stalling
• reduce memory usage in an embedded storage engine
• store large-scale key-value data on modern SSDs
• improve write throughput for kafka streams state stores
• embed a persistent key-value database in a C++ application

When to choose

• you already use RocksDB and want better performance without code changes
• your workload suffers from write stalls or inconsistent latency
• you need an embedded, high-performance key-value store on modern hardware

When to avoid

• you need a network-accessible database or SQL features
• you prefer a storage engine with a larger community and long-term roadmap like RocksDB
• your platform or language bindings are not supported by Speedb
