That's LMDB, as others have noted. I have used it in production for years, never once lost data. Insanely fast, low footprint, crash-proof.

(P.s. I have seen SQLite get corrupted regularly on mobile devices, which is why I no longer use it there.)

Bizarre. SQLite is known for being hard to corrupt. How did it happen?

No idea, but with about 50,000 regular users hitting the local SQLite DB on their mobile devices hard, I'd get a corrupted DB report a few times a week.

It's possible my SQLite configuration wasn't as crash-proof as the default install. I moved onto another project before I could investigate further.

Seems possible you were just seeing the rate at which people's storage hardware gets corrupted rather than an issue with SQLite.
