I started LmdbJava in June 2016 as my proprietary trading operation required a high performance, low latency key-value store.

Over the past nine years I've heard of the project being used in many other industries beyond trading, including ad tech, intelligence, medicine, finance and communications. However, I stopped using LmdbJava some time ago and as such find it difficult to invest sufficient time going forward. I therefore believe it is best to pass it over to somebody else.

If anyone would like to volunteer, please feel free to comment here or send me an email (address in profile).

   Hi Ben,

   I really appreciate your generosity and the hard work you’ve put into the project. I still remember how excited I felt when we first started working on it. It’s truly amazing how two people from opposite sides of the world, united by a common goal, can collaborate so effectively. It shows how powerful open source can be.

   I don’t have an apology to offer for not contributing more to the project, but I do have an explanation. I’ve been dealing with burnout and mental exhaustion related to both work and my personal life. Honestly, I’ve felt ashamed for not reaching out to you or informing you about what I was going through.

   The world need more people like yourself.

   Cheers,
   -Christofer

   Hi Ben 😃 First of all, thank you for all the work you've put into LmdbJava over the years. It's sad to hear you're stepping back, but the decision is completely understandable. I do have a general interest in the project and will take a closer look over the next few days. Are there any concrete next steps or areas you’d recommend looking into already?

   I'm pleased to announce that @at055612 and @stroomdev66 have volunteered to help maintain LmdbJava. They work together and have been actively using LmdbJava since around 2018. I've granted both commit access, and we'll be working through open tickets and PRs in the coming weeks to finalise a 1.0.0 release.

   Many of you will recognise @at055612 from their involvement in numerous tickets and pull requests over the past five years. @stroomdev66 has also been working on integrating the new Java 25 Foreign Function and Memory API (FFM) into LmdbJava.

   Several others have contacted me via email expressing interest in becoming more involved with LmdbJava. As always, contributions are encouraged and welcomed.

   I'll continue to support LmdbJava, but with @at055612 and @stroomdev66 now on board, I'm closing this ticket.
