About begeekmyfriend/bplustree
A minimal but extreme fast B+ tree indexing structure demo for billions of key-value storage. This B+ Tree implementation is based on Posix, with an in-memory branch for learning and debugging. It includes demo build and code coverage test scripts. Written primarily in C, the project is licensed under MIT and is designed to demonstrate a high-performance B+ tree suitable for handling millions to billions of key-value pairs.
