GC, hands off my data!
I decided to start with an overview of what open-source options are currently available. When it comes to the implementation of the on-heap cache mechanism, the options are numerous – there is well known: guava, ehcache, caffeine and many other solutions. However, when I began researching cache mechanisms offering the possibility of storing data outside GC control, I found out that there are very few solutions left. Out of the popular ones, only Terracotta is supported. It seems that this is a very niche solution and we do not have many options to choose from. In terms of less-known projects, I came across Chronicle-Map, MapDB and OHC. I chose the last one because it was created as part of the Cassandra project, which I had some experience with and was curious about how this component worked:

Permazen: Language-natural persistence to KV stores
So, it's an object database, like Zope's ZODB on Python?
I like the idea, but I'd like to learn about use cases for it.
Otherwise, in Java, MapDB is about as far as I'd be willing to go: https://github.com/jankotek/mapdb/

what is the best persistent collection library?
Anyway, without further ado, I found MapDB (https://github.com/jankotek/mapdb) which does exactly that. Of course, they also provide their own Java collection implementations as well, so I suspect using it with Vavr would be a poor idea, but it is very cool in its own right anyway. Of course, there is also Apache Derby and HSQLDB, and those great options with a long history as well. I haven't played with these in a while though, so I might give them a try again soon for some personal stuff.

Ask HN: What are the best key-value self-hosted storage engines?
In Java I like
https://mapdb.org/
It is more feature rich than you want but in Python I'd probably just use sqlite3 since it is in the standard library.
