What is Skytable?
Skytable is an effort to provide the best of key/value stores, document stores and columnar databases, that is, simplicity, flexibility and queryability at scale. The name 'Skytable' exemplifies our vision to create a database that has limitless possibilities. Skytable was previously known as TerrabaseDB (and then Skybase) and is also nicknamed "STable", "Sky" and "SDB" by the community.
Skytable is curently under development, but can be used as a performant, secure and persistent key-value store.

Clients The project currently maintains an official Rust driver and we have plans to support more languages along the way!
If you want to use a different language, for now you'll just need to implement the simple and performant Skyhash Protocol.
