1# Hobbes
2
3Hobbes is a **low-level distributed database** for the Elixir programming language.
4
5Hobbes provides a simple, safe, and scalable storage layer for Elixir applications.
6It's designed to scale horizontally, replicate data across machines,
7and handle disk or machine failures automatically and without disruption.
8
9Hobbes offers a transactional key/value API which can model a wide range of data structures and indexes.
10Transactions can span the entire keyspace of a cluster, even across machines,
11and provide the strongest possible consistency guarantees (strict serializability) by default.
12
13Elixir apps and libraries can use Hobbes to build systems that achieve modern standards of consistency, durability, and availability.
14Building distributed systems to these standards is notoriously difficult.
15Hobbes is a tool designed to make it *easy*.
