Architecture
Built around a simple idea.
Keep frequently accessed data fast, cool inactive data efficiently, and persist everything in the background.
Persistent key-value storage with TTL, background snapshotting, automatic cooling, and a simple TCP client-server architecture.

ThermalKV is an in-memory database that extends beyond RAM. Hot data stays in memory for maximum performance, while cooling data is transparently moved to SSD storage, keeping memory usage low without sacrificing fast access.
Think of it as a cache that doesn't immediately forget. Instead of evicting data when memory gets tight, ThermalKV lets data cool down and return when needed.
Read the story behind ThermalKV...ThermalKV combines in-memory performance, persistent storage, automatic cooling, and a simple TCP client-server architecture.
Dedicated server process with lightweight client connectivity.
Move inactive data to SSD-backed storage to reduce RAM usage.
Heap-based expiration scheduling for automatic key cleanup.
Background snapshots provide persistence and recovery.
Keep data available across restarts and crashes.
Memory references allow efficient access to cooled data.
SET, GET, TTL, COOL, COUNT, KEYS, INFO and more.
Simple deployment with minimal operational overhead.
Keep frequently accessed data fast, cool inactive data efficiently, and persist everything in the background.
