DescriptionAn embedded key-value store for Go.Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clusteringHigh performant column-oriented DBMS for analytic workloads using MySQL or PostgreSQL as a frontendEmbeddable fast key-value storage library that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string valuesIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
