# Introduction

Managing large application state easily, resiliently, and with high performance is one of the hardest

problems in the cloud today. The FASTER project offers two artifacts to help tackle this problem.

* **FASTER Log** is a high-performance concurrent persistent recoverable log, iterator, and random 

reader library in C#. It supports very frequent commit operations at low latency, and can quickly saturate 

disk bandwidth. It supports both sync and async interfaces, handles disk errors, and supports checksums.

* **FASTER KV** is a concurrent key-value store + cache (available in C# and C++) that is designed for point 

lookups and heavy updates. FASTER supports data larger than memory, by leveraging fast external 

storage (local or cloud). It also supports consistent recovery using a fast non-blocking checkpointing technique 

that lets applications trade-off performance for commit latency.

Both FASTER KV and FASTER Log offer orders-of-magnitude higher performance than comparable solutions, on standard

workloads. Start learning about FASTER, its unique capabilities, and how to get started at our official website:
