    Hey OP, this is cool!

    - What are the reasons you picked Elixir?

    - What are you motivations for this project?

    - How does the append log persistence work?

    - Do you plan on adding clustering support?

    - How do you plan to make it fault tolerant?

    Here is the link to the roadmap if anyone is interested - https://github.com/Allyedge/allydb#roadmap

    Cool. Is it possible to run this inside another elixir app?

    Since this runs on Elixir, what's the advantage of using it over Elixir's inbuilt ETS?

    Bad name. Too close to AlloyDB. Cross the Rubicon and rename it.

    Sounds like AlloyDB from GCP otherwise interesting project. There's been a few lately. Any benchmarks on how they compare?
