Show HN: Keybench, Scriptable, extensible performance tool for key value stores

Article excerpt

A developer has released Keybench, a performance benchmarking tool designed specifically for key-value storage engines. The creator, drawing on years of work with storage systems, built the tool to fill a gap left by existing benchmarks like sysbench and HammerDB, which weren't designed with key-value stores in mind. Presented as a proof-of-concept on Hacker News, Keybench aims to be scriptable and extensible, letting developers stress-test their preferred storage engines and compare performance across different systems.
