K/V storage

Key-value (K/V) storage is a type of data system where information is stored as pairs: a unique key (like a name or label) associated with a specific value (the data or content). Think of it like a digital dictionary: you look up a word (the key) to find its meaning or definition (the value). This system allows quick access and retrieval of data by referencing the key. It’s commonly used in caching, databases, and distributed systems because of its efficiency, scalability, and simplicity in managing large amounts of data.
