hamsterdb products reorganized
July 19th, 2009
I decided to rename hamsterdb to “hamsterdb Embedded Storage” and hamsterdb2 to “hamsterdb Transactional Storage”. hamsterdb2 was never intended to replace the previous hamsterdb. Instead, both will coexist in parallel because they’re targeting completely different markets.
hamsterdb Embedded Storage concentrates on raw performance and a high level of configurability. It will run great on embedded devices and high-speed applications.
hamsterdb Transactional Storage is meant to run on modern hardware with multi-core CPUs, lots of RAM and is suited for applications which are in need of ACID compliant transactions.
I hope the new names will make it clear that both libraries will coexist and live on.
