What is Berkeley DB?

Berkeley DB is an open source embedded database engine that provides scalable high-performance data management services to applications. It supports key-value data model and can be used as an embedded database, in-memory database, XML database, or for simple data storage scenarios.

Some key features of Berkeley DB include:

• Supports replication and high availability
• ACID compliant transactional database with commit, rollback, and recovery capabilities
• Concurrent access allowing high volume read/write performance
• Supports indexes, cursors and sorted duplicates for range queries
• Out-of-the box encryption and access controls
• Small footprint suitable for embedding in applications
• Cross-platform support for Linux, Windows, macOS etc.

Berkeley DB originated in the early 90s from research at UC Berkeley focused on building a fast, scalable, transactional database engine. Over the years it has seen widespread industry adoption and isembedded in many commercial and open source systems and applications.
