Hobbes#

Hobbes is a low-level distributed database for the Elixir programming language.

Hobbes provides a simple, safe, and scalable storage layer for Elixir applications. It's designed to scale horizontally, replicate data across machines, and handle disk or machine failures automatically and without disruption.

Hobbes offers a transactional key/value API which can model a wide range of data structures and indexes. Transactions can span the entire keyspace of a cluster, even across machines, and provide the strongest possible consistency guarantees (strict serializability) by default.

Elixir apps and libraries can use Hobbes to build systems that achieve modern standards of consistency, durability, and availability. Building distributed systems to these standards is notoriously difficult. Hobbes is a tool designed to make it easy.

Hobbes is experimental and under active development. We are working toward an alpha release.
