Reliable Key-Value Storage
Persistent by design. Ready for agents.
BaseKV speaks the Redis and Memcached wire protocols, writes every key to disk by default, and lets you export your data as JSON or CSV at any time. Your existing client libraries work unchanged — point them at a BaseKV endpoint and keep shipping.
Free sandbox to start, flat plans from $9.99/month — no per-request billing surprises. The same databases are managed by a token-scoped lifecycle API, built for autonomous agents.
Works with redis-cli
> SET session:7f3 '{"user":"nova"}'
OK # written to disk, survives restarts
> GET session:7f3
"{\"user\":\"nova\"}"
Persistent by default
Disk-first storage means no surprise evictions.
Multi-protocol
Redis and Memcached clients, plus DynamoDB-style and Graph command workflows.
Predictable pricing
Flat tiers that stay calm at steady scale.
Export-ready
Pull your data anytime, in standard formats.
Familiar tools, calmer operations
BaseKV fits the workflows you already know. We keep the naming familiar while smoothing out the cost and persistence trade-offs.
Plans that stay calm
Start with a low-cost free sandbox, then move to paid plans when your workload or agent activity grows.
Why BaseKV Exists
Most teams need a steady database, not a hyperscale product. BaseKV is for workloads that are predictable, for teams who want persistence on day one, and for budgets that need to stay boring.
Common realities we keep hearing:
- Actual datasets are smaller than the managed tier assumes.
- Teams pay for memory they never use.
- Export paths are awkward or gated.
- Backups become a separate system.
BaseKV is engineered for the long, quiet middle.
Common Use Cases
Materialized views
Precompute analytics outputs so your dashboards stay instant.
Session and state
Persist sessions without holding everything in memory.
Configuration data
Store feature flags and settings with low write churn.
Edge caching
Keep regional key-value layers close to users.
Queues and jobs
Use simple push/pop patterns for background work.
Leaderboards
Rankings and top-N lists that persist across restarts.
Event logs
Append-only event streams you can export when needed.

How it works
Your app talks to BaseKV over a Redis-compatible protocol. We persist to disk immediately and expose exports without hidden tiers.
Persistent by Default
BaseKV writes to disk from the start. That means no unexpected eviction policies, no hidden persistence toggles, and no awkward migration when you realize you actually need reliability.
- Keeps data across restarts.
- Backups are a default, not a plan upgrade.
- Storage scales with your disk, not RAM.
The database should feel like infrastructure, not a product to manage.
"BaseKV is a disk-backed key-value store for teams who outgrew complexity, not their budgets."
How BaseKV is built
A seven part engineering series on the internals of the engine: how Redis data types are encoded into one B+tree, how sorted sets and SCAN work on disk, how three wire protocols share a single file, and the durability and graph internals underneath.
