Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
SNKV is a lightweight, crash-safe embedded key-value store built directly on SQLite's storage engine without the SQL layer. It provides a clean key-value API on top of SQLite's proven storage core, offering SQLite-grade reliability with lower overhead for read-heavy and mixed workloads. The project is designed for simplicity and performance, with a single-header interface for easy integration.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledSNKV is a lightweight, ACID-compliant embedded key-value store built directly on SQLite's storage engine — without SQL layer.
The idea: bypass the SQL layer entirely and talk directly to SQLite's storage engine. No SQL parser. No query planner. No virtual machine. Just a clean KV API on top of a proven, battle-tested storage core.
SQLite-grade reliability. KV-first design. Lower overhead for read-heavy and mixed key-value workloads.
