About SlateDB

SlateDB harnesses your object store's 99.999999999% durability while operating without disks, thus eliminating failures and corruption associated with traditional hardware. It simplifies replication by relying on the object store's mechanisms and provides tunable performance configurations to optimize for low latency, cost, or high durability. The engine supports one writer with multiple readers, including features to detect and fence zombie writers, and is built in Rust for versatile language support.

Key Features

  • 99.999999999% durability inherited from object storage
  • Zero-disk architecture for no hardware failures
  • Simple replication leveraging object store replication
  • Configurable performance for low latency, cost, or durability
  • Scalable readers with zombie writer fencing
  • Built in Rust for cross-language integration

Summary

SlateDB combines the reliability of object store durability with a diskless architecture and configurable performance, making it a robust and flexible solution for embedded storage needs. Its simplified replication and scalable reader support enhance its appeal for cloud native applications.
