kvs
A compact Elixir/Erlang database abstraction layer with polymorphic tuples and multiple backend support.
What is kvs?
KVS is a database abstraction layer for Elixir and Erlang that provides a unified interface to multiple storage backends like MNESIA, FS, and ROCKSDB. It solves the problem of database interoperability by allowing developers to use polymorphic tuples and chain-based schemas without being locked into a single storage system.
Elixir and Erlang developers building applications that require flexible data storage with support for multiple backends, particularly those working on embedded systems or lightweight services.
Developers choose KVS for its extreme compactness (600 LOC), simplicity, and ability to abstract over different databases, making it easy to switch backends or maintain minimal dependencies in their projects.
