Note to myself : Search before you post. Apologies, I checked new and front page only!

You were right to post it -- it's a new blog post announcing the non-beta release and benchmarks.

Hi there! I'm a YC alum (reMail W09) and helped Jeff and Sanjay with LevelDB. Let me know if you have any questions about LevelDB and I'll see if I can help.

I would really like to use this from my Android Java application. Is this possible, and what would be the best way to accomplish this?

how is this different from membase?

Uhm shouldn't that be ovious by reading the high level descriptions of each? They are for completely different use cases. Membase is a distributed Key/Value server and LevelDB is a Key/Value library.

I see the difference between a server and a library, but both can often be used for the same use case. Just recently I evaluated a few data stores for a project and I didn't care all that much about the distinction. For the servers you're gonna use an API for your programming language anyway, so the programming model isn't that different.
