BoltDB Description

Bolt is a key/value store written entirely in Go, drawing inspiration from Howard Chu's LMDB project. The primary aim of this initiative is to offer a straightforward, quick, and dependable database solution for smaller projects that do not need the complexity of a full-fledged database server like Postgres or MySQL. Given that Bolt serves as a foundational component, a focus on simplicity is paramount. The API is intentionally minimal, emphasizing only the essential operations of retrieving and storing values. This streamlined approach was central to Bolt's original vision: to create an uncomplicated pure Go key/value store without overwhelming it with unnecessary features. Consequently, the project has successfully achieved this goal. Nonetheless, the narrowly defined scope has led to the conclusion of the project's development. Managing an open source database is a labor-intensive endeavor that demands significant time and resources. Any modifications to the codebase can have unforeseen and potentially severe consequences, making even minor adjustments necessitate extensive testing and validation over prolonged periods. Additionally, the project's limited functionality allows users to focus on core database operations without the distractions of a more complex system.
