Note that this is not a database server, like Redis or Memcached. This is a database library, more along the lines of sqlite. In particular: "There is no client-server support builtin to the library. An application that needs such support will have to wrap their own server around the library" and only one process can access a database a time.

- amjith 15y agoHi Thank you for this explanation. My first thought was how is it different than Redis and then when I read no client-server support, I thought, this is worse than Redis. But then your comparison with sqlite makes it a little bit better. I can see a few use cases for it now. Thanks!
- rajasharan 15y agoI think saying it's not like 'Memcached' could be wrong. I can think of Memcached as a specialized case of LevelDB.
