  • kvbench

    Server for benchmarking pure Go key/value databases

  • I was looking at https://github.com/smallnest/kvbench and different K/V databases for golang.

  • go-memdb

    Golang in-memory database built on immutable radix trees

  • I just think its a glorified map. Yeah, for example go-memdb list some of its advantages in their https://github.com/hashicorp/go-memdb/blob/master/README.md README. But it is not clear whether you gain any performance gain over a map except for avoiding the locking as explained.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
