Key-value store libraries, also known as key-value databases, are incredibly useful when dealing with large data sets where the relationship between objects is defined by a single key. These are typically scenarios where we want to store data with a unique identifier and retrieval speed is a priority. They are exceptionally good for:
Key-value stores usually have the following basic functionalities:
In addition, some advanced key-value store libraries may support transactions, automatic scaling, persistent storage, secondary indexes, and automatic data eviction based on policies.
While Key-Value store libraries are quite beneficial, there are some pitfalls to look out for:
For npm users, be aware of module variations and their respective dependencies when installing npm packages, as they may vary greatly in implementation. Take note of the module's popularity, active maintenance, and community support as these can greatly affect how secure and reliable the module is.
