Welcome to the mosh Pit

For many types of data, you want to be able to store it, search it. You want to apply functions to map data to other data. You want it to be fast, durable, and easy to use. You want a simple API. It needs to be economical and scale to only what you use.

It needs to work well on your local computer and doesn't require extensive cloud resources like sophisticated databases.

What is mosh

• M - Mappable

• O - Objects

• S - Searchable and Scales to Zero

• H - Search and storage heuristics

• P - Persistent (cloud storage)

• I - Indexed Automatically (for speed)

• T - Threaded (i.e., concurrency, parallelism, utilizes multiple cores)

mosh is based on objects, currently pydantic objects.

Requirements

• Natural way to store a wide variety of data objects
• Searchable
• Scales to Zero
• Simple API
• Mappable (one mosh object can be mapped to another object via function)
• Fast for Local Compute (e.g., Laptops/Desktops/Workstations)
• Durable data (can synch to the cloud and/or other nodes)
• Eventually Consistent

Non-Features

• Transactions
• Performant with Huge Datasets
