The easiest schema-based key-value database.
NotDatabase is a developer-first database toolkit. It gives you a fully type-safe SDK and a simple API to work with structured key-value data. You define your collections with a schema, and NotDatabase handles the rest — validation, constraints, and storage.
No migrations. No heavy queries. Just fast, schema-driven persistence.
It’s great for:
- MVPs and internal tools
- Event logs, audit trails, or analytics
- Prototyping with real data
- Lightweight app backends
SQL is powerful — but can be overkill.
NoSQL is fast — but often unstructured.
NotDatabase hits the sweet spot: structured JSON documents and a simple SDK.
Built for hackers tired of setting up Postgres for simple projects.
