Skiplist-CPP is a lightweight key-value storage engine implemented in C++ using a skip list as its core data structure. It showcases how a log-structured, ordered index can deliver fast inserts, lookups, and deletes while remaining simple to implement and reason about. The project supplies a compact codebase with a clear separation between the skip list implementation and the storage operations that use it. Beyond in-memory operations, it demonstrates persistence through data dump to disk and reload, turning the structure into a tiny embeddable database. Stress-test scripts and example binaries are provided so you can benchmark throughput and validate correctness on your own machine. This makes the repo valuable for learners studying database internals and for practitioners who want a starting point for an embedded KV engine or educational experiments.

Features

  • Core skip-list implementation with insert, search, and delete
  • KV engine wrapper exposing simple database-style operations
  • Data persistence via on-disk dump and reload for durability
  • Stress-testing scripts and example executables for benchmarking
  • Straightforward C++ code layout with headers and a minimal makefile
  • Supporting artifacts like sample data folders and usage documentation
