About

What is bbolt?

bbolt is an embedded key/value database specifically designed for Go applications, serving as an actively maintained fork of Ben Johnson's Bolt key/value store. It aims to provide the Go community with a reliable and stable database solution, incorporating bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new features while maintaining backward compatibility with the original Bolt API. This pure Go key/value store is inspired by LMDB and is ideal for projects that do not require a full-fledged database server like Postgres or MySQL. Its API is intentionally small, focusing primarily on efficient key/value storage and retrieval. bbolt is stable, with a fixed API and file format, and is used in high-load production environments, supporting databases up to 1TB.

Best used for

Ideal for developers who need to embed a simple, fast, and reliable key/value database directly into their Go applications, manage transactions efficiently, and organize data using buckets. Especially valuable for projects that don't require a full database server and prioritize local data storage.

FAQs

What is the relationship between bbolt and BoltDB?

bbolt is a fork of Ben Johnson's Bolt key/value store. It provides active maintenance and development for the Bolt project, including bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new features, while preserving backward compatibility with the original Bolt API.

Does bbolt support concurrent access?

bbolt allows only one read-write transaction at a time but supports multiple read-only transactions concurrently. Individual transactions are not thread-safe, so you must start a new transaction for each goroutine or use locking.

How do I install bbolt in my Go project?

To install bbolt, you can use the Go package manager by running `go get go.etcd.io/bbolt@latest`. This will retrieve the library and update your `go.mod` and `go.sum` files for use in your project.
