Vineyard: An open-source in-memory data manager
It'd be interesting to know how this compares with alternative solutions.
I might not understand the benefit proposition correctly, and I'm not specifically into Python for data work, but I immediately thought of things like feather[1], fst[2], disk.frame[3] and even DuckDB[4].
Some of these are on disk rather than in memory, but I'd still be interested in performance and use case comparisons.
