About:
CDB (Constant Database) is a fast, reliable key-value store designed for read-heavy workloads. It allows for atomic updates during database creation, ensuring data integrity. Once created, the database is immutable and optimized for extremely fast lookups, making it ideal for static datasets.
Key Features:
  • High-speed read operations
  • Atomic updates during creation
  • Minimal storage overhead
  • Simple, unstructured file format
Use Cases:
  • Storing DNS records for high-performance name servers
  • Managing large mapping tables for routing or classification
  • Read-only configuration data for high-traffic services
Alternatives:
  • SQLite – SQLite supports dynamic updates and complex queries, whereas CDB is strictly read-only post-creation but offers faster raw lookups.
  • Redis – Redis is an in-memory data structure server with dynamic capabilities, while CDB is an on-disk, static database optimized for persistence.
