Introducing BoulderKV: A Global, Read-Optimized Key-Value Store
We’re excited to introduce BoulderKV, a global, read-optimized key-value store built on object storage. The Problem Modern applications need to serve data globally with low latency, but traditional databases can be expensive and complex to scale worldwide. Meanwhile, many workloads don’t need strong consistency—they need durability, availability, and predictable costs at scale. Our Solution BoulderKV is designed specifically for workloads where: Reads dominate writes Datasets are large, but only a small fraction is frequently accessed Eventual consistency is acceptable Global distribution matters By building on object storage (like S3), BoulderKV delivers:
