BoJack


The unreliable key-value store







## Status

Originally, from my article "[Why you should build your own NoSQL Database](http://medium.com/@marceloboeira/why-you-should-build-your-own-nosql-database-9bbba42039f5)". BoJack is a bit mature now, yet missing several important features:

- Cluster-friendliness
- Security Layer (#34)
- Unix Socket support (#48)

Feel free to share your thoughts and [contribute](##contributing).
