What is Tarantool?

Tarantool is a NoSQL database running inside a Lua program. It combines the network programming power of Node.JS with data persistency capabilities of Redis. It's open source, BSD licensed.

Features

• Lua packages for non-blocking I/O, fibers and HTTP
• MsgPack data format and MsgPack based client-server protocol

• Two data engines:

  • 100% in-memory with optional persistence
  • 2-level disk-based B-tree, to use with large data sets (powered by Sophia)

• secondary key and index iterators support (can be non-unique and composite)
• multiple index types: HASH, BITSET, TREE
• asynchronous master-master replication
• authentication and access control
