1.1 Goals of everarch ¶
The goals of everarch are:
- store your tiny and GB sized files and provide an index
- make backups complete and fast
- store your data in a format which you still can read in 20 years in
_future scripting language_
- store your data in a way that allows you to easily adopt new data
structures without the need to migrate the existing data. 20 years of
migration will rot your data away.
- detect corrupt or externally modified data and restore it with
multiple partial backups
What everarch is not:
- a database which handles inserts every few milliseconds over a long
amount of time very well
- a multi user database which isolates each user’s data
everarch is right now in a pre alpha state. It’s not intended to be
used for your production data yet. Check out the backlog file to see
what we are heading for in the v0.1 release.
