ROFSDB

ROFSDB - Read-Only File System Database

ROFSDB (Read-Only File System Database) is a novel approach to data storage, leveraging the inherent immutability and efficiency of file systems for data retrieval. Designed for scenarios where data is written once and read many times, ROFSDB provides a robust and performant solution for serving static or rarely changing datasets.

Key Features:

  • Read-Only: Data is stored in a read-only manner, ensuring data integrity and preventing accidental modifications.
  • File System Based: Utilizes the underlying file system’s caching mechanisms and optimizations for fast data access.
  • Simple API: Provides a straightforward API for querying and retrieving data.
  • Efficient: Optimized for read operations, making it ideal for high-throughput data serving.
  • Reliable: Benefits from the battle-tested reliability of modern file systems.

Use Cases:

  • Configuration Management: Storing application configurations that change infrequently.
  • Static Content Delivery: Serving static website content or large binary assets.
  • Data Archiving: Archiving historical data that needs to be accessed occasionally but not modified.
  • Machine Learning Models: Storing trained machine learning models for inference.
