RocksDB

Database Management System

RocksDB is a high performance embedded database for key-value data. It is a fork of Google's LevelDB optimized to exploit multi-core processors (CPUs) and make efficient use of fast storage, such as solid-state drives (SSD), for input/output (I/O) bound workloads. It employs a log-structured merge-tree architecture, was developed in C++, and offers native support for C++, C, and Java under a dual Apache 2.0 and GPLv2 license.
