The Long, Quiet Middle
Why BaseKV Exists
Most teams don’t need hyperscale features. They need a steady database that starts reliable, stays predictable, and lets them walk away with their data.
Persistent by default
Writes go to disk immediately. No eviction surprises, no “enable persistence later” moment.
- Durable writes from day one
- No AOF/RDB tuning to feel safe
- Backups and exports are part of the baseline
Predictable pricing
Flat tiers based on storage and request volume. If your workload stays steady, your costs stay steady.
- No per-read charges
- No throughput math
- No bill anxiety from spiky vendor pricing
Familiar protocols
Redis-compatible protocol so you can keep your existing tooling and patterns.
- Drop-in familiarity for Redis clients
- Simple key/value model
- Designed for small-mid datasets
Export-ready
Your data should be yours. Export anytime in standard formats.
- JSON/CSV exports
- No gated tiers for portability
- Reduce lock-in risk
