LevelDB is an embedded database developed at Google, and inspired by elements of Google's proprietary BigTable database. It's a log-structured key-value store purposed for fast read/write access of large datasets.
LevelDB has no command-line or server interface; it's intended for use directly as a library. One of the advantages of an embedded database is that we eliminate peer dependencies-we don't have to assume that a database is available at a certain host and port: we simply require a module and use the database directly.
In this recipe, we're going to implement a quotes application on top of LevelDB.
