Introduction

slatedb-go is a Go port of slatedb

SlateDB is an embedded storage engine built as a log-structured merge-tree. Unlike traditional LSM-tree storage engines, SlateDB writes data to object storage (S3, GCS, ABS, MinIO, Tigris, and so on). Leveraging object storage allows SlateDB to provide bottomless storage capacity, high durability, and easy replication. The trade-off is that object storage has a higher latency and higher API cost than local disk.

To mitigate high write API costs (PUTs), SlateDB batches writes. Rather than writing every put() call to object storage, MemTables are flushed periodically to object storage as a string-sorted table (SST). The flush interval is configurable.

Get Started

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/slatedb/slatedb-go/slatedb"
	"github.com/thanos-io/objstore"
)

func main() {
	bucket := objstore.NewInMemBucket()
	db, _ := slatedb.Open("/tmp/testDB", bucket)

	key := []byte("key1")
	value := []byte("value1")

	db.Put(key, value)
	fmt.Println("Put:", string(key), string(value))

	data, _ := db.Get(key)
	fmt.Println("Get:", string(key), string(data))

	db.Delete(key)
	data, err := db.Get(key)
	if err != nil && err.Error() == "key not found" {
		fmt.Println("Delete:", string(key))
	} else {
		fmt.Println("failed to delete key", string(key))
	}

	db.Close()
}
