Forceps

The easy-to-use and asynchronous solution for your tokio project

forceps is made to be an easy-to-use, thread-safe, performant, and asynchronous disk cache that has easy reading and manipulation of data. It levereges tokio's async fs APIs and fast task schedulers to perform IO operations, and sled as a fast metadata database.

It was originally designed to be used in scalpel, the MD@Home implementation for the Rust language.
