# `pile` - a simple and fast append-only data store
[](https://crates.io/crates/data-pile)
[](https://codecov.io/gh/eugene-babichenko/data-pile)
## Design goals
* Efficient adding of big chunks of data.
* A user should be able to copy the storage data (for example, over the network)
while still being able to use the database for both reads and writes.
* The storage should have a minimal dependency footprint.
## Usage guide
### Example
```rust
use data_pile::Database;
let db = Database::new("./pile").unwrap();
let value = b"some data";
db.put(&value).unwrap();
```
### Notes
Values are accessible only by their sequential numbers. You will need an
external index if you want any other kind of keys.
