voldemort
A distributed key-value storage system designed for horizontal scalability, automatic replication, and fault tolerance.
What is voldemort?
Voldemort is an open-source distributed key-value storage system designed for high availability and horizontal scalability. It functions as a fault-tolerant, persistent hash table that automatically replicates and partitions data across multiple servers and data centers. The system solves the challenge of handling large-scale, internet-type workloads by providing transparent failure handling and eliminating single points of failure.
Developers and engineers building large-scale, data-intensive applications that require horizontal scalability, such as web services under high traffic loads or systems needing distributed caching and storage solutions.
Developers choose Voldemort for its simplicity as a distributed hash table, combining in-memory caching with storage to avoid a separate caching tier, and for its pluggable architecture that supports custom serialization, storage engines, and data placement strategies.
