It's designed to scale horizontally, replicate data across machines,

and handle disk or machine failures automatically and without disruption.

Hobbes is designed to function as a hyper-database (or "multi-model" database):
10
-
a database which contains many other databases within it.
11
-
It offers an ordered key/value API which can model a wide range of data structures and indexes.

+
Hobbes offers a transactional key/value API which can model a wide range of data structures and indexes.
10
+
Transactions can span the entire keyspace of a cluster, even across machines,
11
+
and provide the strongest possible consistency guarantees (strict serializability) by default.

Hobbes is transactional,

and provides the strongest possible consistency guarantees (strict serializability) across an entire cluster,
15
-
even in the presence of machine or network failures.
16
-
All data and metadata is strongly checksummed to avoid corruption from bitrot or malfunctioning disks.

-
Hobbes is one of only a handful of distributed databases to be built for Deterministic Simulation Testing from day one.
19
-
We fuzz the database extensively, with simulated fault injection,
20
-
and validate results against a model to ensure that data is never corrupted or lost.
21
-
For this we utilize our simulation testing library, Trinity, which was designed specifically to test Hobbes.

Building a distributed system which can store data safely is notoriously difficult.

Elixir apps and libraries can use Hobbes to build systems that achieve modern standards of consistency, durability, and availability.

Building distributed systems to these standards is notoriously difficult.

Hobbes is a tool designed to make it *easy*.
