ACID Transactions
ACID transactions with read-committed isolation: writes are atomic and durable via write-ahead logging, reads always see the latest committed data with read-your-own-writes semantics. Concurrent writes use last-write-wins conflict resolution through atomic CAS operations.
Concurrent
Lock-free concurrency with non-blocking writes and readers. Linear scalability with CPU cores.
LSM-Tree Architecture
Log-structured merge-tree design optimized for write-heavy workloads with efficient read performance.
Flexible Compression
Support for Snappy, LZ4, and ZSTD compression algorithms. Configure per column family for optimal storage efficiency.
Background Or Manual Compaction
Reduces SSTable count and removes expired/deleted keys without blocking column family operations.
Cross-Platform & Portable
Native support for 32-bit and 64-bit Linux, macOS, and Windows with platform abstraction layer for consistent behavior. Storage files are portable across platforms and architectures.
Easy to use API
Clean, intuitive C API with consistent error handling.
