— Universal zero-dependency caching engine with single-flight stampede coalescing & multi-tier L1/L2 storage. Star
kvdockon GitHub ★
A universal, zero-dependency key-value and caching engine engineered natively across five languages with unified semantics, strict thread safety, and deterministic eviction.
| Runtime | Language / Target | Architecture | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| kvdock |
TypeScript Node.js
|
Zero-dependency core, pluggable storage fleet (20+ adapters), stampede protection |
|
| kvdock-rs | Rust 2024 |
Zero-dependency core, mutex-guarded Instant TTL |
|
| kvdock-go | Go 1.27 |
Concurrent generic Get[T], container/list LRU, atomic operational telemetry |
|
| kvdock-swift | Swift 6.3 |
Actor-isolated concurrency, monotonic ContinuousClock TTL enforcement |
|
| kvdock-kt | Kotlin / JVM |
Thread-safe generic caching, access-order LinkedHashMap |
