Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Are people still using Kyoto Cabinet in new projects? Are people still using DBM-style storage generally? I thought that whole branch of the evolutionary tree had sort of died out.

Cloudflare used to use Kyoto Cabinet[1] and moved to LMDB[1] in 2020; other implementations that I'm familiar with (but don't have a link to share) also use LMDB.

It's fairly common in these scenarios, as well as the underlying key-value store for popular software like Consul[3].

Cloudflare moved from lmdb to RocksDB for production.

Yeah that plus zeromq. Very curious.. I always thought T/K cabinet and similar would become more popular with the adaption of ORMs
