Getting Started

IsleDB uses a write-ahead memtable architecture where writes are first buffered in memory before being flushed to persistent SST files. Large values are stored separately in blob storage to keep SSTs compact. Isledb stores SSTs and blobs in object storage (S3/GCS/Azure/MinIO)

You write through a Writer, read through a Reader, and optionally run a Compactor.

Install

go get github.com/ankur-anand/isledb
