BoltDB Reviews

BoltDB Description

Bolt is a pure-Go key/value store that was inspired by Howard Chu's LMDB Project. The project's goal is to provide a simple, reliable, and fast database for projects that do not require a full database server like Postgres or MySQL. Bolt is intended to be used as a low-level piece. The API will be simple and focus only on setting values and getting values. That's all. Bolt's original purpose was to provide a pure Go key/value storage and not add unnecessary features. The project has been a great success. The project's scope is limited, but it is still complete. It takes a lot of energy and time to maintain an open-source database. Code changes can have unintended consequences, sometimes even catastrophic ones. Even simple changes require hours of testing and validation.
