About:
Tinycdb is a very fast and simple utility for creating and reading constant databases. It provides a programmatic interface for storing key-value pairs in a binary format optimized for read-heavy operations. Its small footprint and efficiency make it ideal for applications requiring persistent, unchanging data lookups.
Key Features:
  • Extremely fast lookups
  • Tiny memory footprint
  • Atomic updates
  • Simple C library API
Use Cases:
  • Storing user/group information for authentication
  • DNSbl or spam filter lookups
  • Configuration data storage
Alternatives:
  • Berkeley DB – BDB is more feature-rich but significantly larger and more complex.
  • Redis – Redis is an in-memory server, whereas cdb is a static file format requiring no running process.
