Keybench – Scriptable, extensible performance tool for key value stores

Keybench is a scriptable, extensible performance benchmarking tool designed specifically for key-value storage engines, filling a gap where tools like sysbench and HammerDB exist for relational databases but not for key-value stores. It targets developers and engineers working with storage engines, offering a proof-of-concept that allows them to easily drive and test their preferred engine with custom workloads. Its interest lies in providing a dedicated, flexible framework for evaluating and comparing key-value store performance, which was previously lacking in the ecosystem.
