Zongarl

In-memory key-value store

A fast key-value store with a durable heart.

Zongarl serves reads and writes from memory in microseconds and persists to disk in the background, so a restart never loses your data.

Capabilities

01

Microsecond reads

Keys are served straight from memory; a typical GET or SET completes in tens of microseconds.

02

Durable by design

Writes are appended to a log and snapshotted, so a crash or restart replays cleanly.

03

TTL & eviction

Set a time-to-live per key and pick an eviction policy when memory runs tight.
