In plain words
Kvpbase is an open-source object storage platform that developers can run locally on their own machines or laptops.

We’re excited to release Kvpbase v2.0.1 and announce that it is now an open source platform (available under the MIT license). The source code for the Kvpbase Storage Server can be found here, along with all of the SDKs: For those of you not familiar with Kvpbase, it’s a scalable, elastic RESTful object storage platform that we launched in 2015. It’s like a small version of Amazon S3 (with a cleaner API) that you can run on your own machines - even on your own laptop.

- ABA bi-directional, persisted KV store that is faster than Redis2025 · hpkv.io · ▲79
we've been working on a KV store for the past year or so which is 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted! so you get the speed of in-memory KV stores but with disk persistence. To achieve this we've created our custom filesystem that is optimized for our special usecase and we're doing smart batching for writes and predictive fetching for reads. In addition to basic operations, it also provides atomic inc/dec, atomic json patch, range scans and a unique key monitoring mechanism (pub-sub) over WebSockets which essentially allows you to receive notification on…
