I highly recommend people comfortable with Go checkout the building blocks at https://github.com/thomasjungblut/go-sstables https://github.com/thomasjungblut/go-sstables This codebase shows how SSTables, WAL, memtables, recordio, skiplists, segment files, and other storage engine components work in a digestible way. Includes a demo database showing how it all comes together to make a RocksDB / LevelDB competitor (not really).

Very cool! In a similar vein Distributed Services with Go [0] works through SST creating a KV store. I found it helpful for working with BadgerDB [1].

  BadgerDB is quite a nice piece of software and (from my tests) the best key-value store in Go. Dgraph wrote a great explanation article about why they wrote Badger and the tradeoffs and designs reasons: http://web.archive.org/web/20181116033431/https://blog.dgraph.io/post/badger/ http://web.archive.org/web/20181116033431/https://blog.dgrap...

    Judging from the precipitous decline in Badger commits since 20221 [0] and that the original/primary author is no longer with dgraph [1] or working on Badger, it may be worth looking at Cockroach's Pebble [2] instead.

    +100 and an upvote. Badger db seems so under-rated to be and is a great drop in replacement for an embedded KV store. Amazing for several simple sharded simple side projects!
