In-Memory Mode¶

In-memory mode provides the fastest performance by keeping all data in RAM.

Creating an In-Memory Database¶

import grafeo

# Default is in-memory
db = grafeo.Database()

use grafeo::Database;

let db = Database::open_in_memory()?;

Characteristics¶

• No persistence - Data is lost when the database is closed
• Maximum performance - No disk I/O overhead
• Memory bound - Limited by available RAM

Use Cases¶

• Unit testing
• Development and prototyping
• Caching layers
• Temporary computations
• Benchmarking

Memory Management¶

# Set memory limit for in-memory database
db = grafeo.Database(
    memory_limit=1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024  # 1 GB
)
