LAVIK / ABOUT
Let data capacity grow with NVMe SSD.
Lavik is an Apache 2.0 open-source, Redis-compatible key-value store from EloqData. It keeps a compact key index in DRAM and stores values on NVMe SSD, giving growing datasets a different capacity-cost structure from an all-memory store. The current release is 0.1.0-beta.1.
Performance and capacity cost
In the published SPDK GET/SET benchmark, Lavik exceeded Redis and Valkey peak throughput. At a 20:1 DRAM/NVMe SSD price per GiB, the storage-capacity cost for the same value payload is 95% lower. Index and runtime memory, replicas, servers, and operations are additional; each workload needs its own latency and availability evaluation.

Evaluate your application
Lavik supports RESP2 and RESP3. Choose an installation method, check the commands and clients your application uses, then follow the migration guides to validate data, error handling, and operational behavior. The beta has specific tested coverage and known limitations; this is not a claim of complete Redis compatibility.
An open project
Lavik project articles draw on source code, design documents, and recorded experiments. Contributions, issue reports, and reproducible evaluation results are welcome on GitHub.
