SummitDB is an in-memory NoSQL key/value database written in Go that persists to disk, provides ACID transactions, and replicates via the Raft consensus algorithm. It exposes a Redis-compatible API and supports custom indexes, JSON documents, geospatial indexing, and JavaScript scripting.

Use cases

• run a strongly consistent in-memory key-value store with disk persistence
• set up a highly available replicated database using Raft consensus
• use Redis commands with ACID transactions and strong consistency
• store and index JSON documents
• query geospatial data with spatial indexes
• run a lightweight NoSQL database on a Raspberry Pi or ARM device

When to choose

• you need Redis-like simplicity but with strong consistency and durability instead of eventual persistence
• you want a small, easy-to-deploy replicated database with ACID guarantees
• you need ordered keys, value indexing, or spatial indexing in a key/value store

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested database with active development and a large community
• your dataset exceeds available memory since data is primarily in-memory
• you need a permissively licensed dependency (license is non-standard)
• you need rich query languages like SQL or full secondary-index ecosystems
