THE GO-NATIVE EMBEDDED DATABASE
Local by design.
Durable by default.
Your data belongs close to your application. ZeeDB gives you durable local storage, atomic writes, and a small API that feels right at home in Go.

EMBED IT. WRITE IT. KEEP IT.
main.goGo
db, err := zeedb.Open("./data", zeedb.Options{})
if err != nil { return err }
defer db.Close()
// A durable write. Right inside your application.
err = db.Put(ctx, "users", []byte("1024"), []byte("Ada"))
if err != nil { return err }
value, err := db.Get(ctx, "users", []byte("1024"))
if err != nil { return err }
fmt.Println(string(value))EXAMPLE OUTPUT

Native GoChecksummed storageAtomic batchesWorks offline
A DELIBERATE FOUNDATIONLess machinery.
Less machinery.
More clarity.
Start with the essentials: reliable local commits, predictable reads, and guarantees you can understand.
02
One batch. One commit.
Write several records together with atomic visibility. Concurrent readers see a consistent committed state.
Understand atomic batches03
Small API. Clear limits.
Collection-scoped keys, opaque byte values, and bounded scans. Resource budgets stay explicit and configurable.
