• ACID transactions with SERIALIZABLE isolation level
• Three running modes (stand-alone, embedded, local)
• Stored procedures (written in Java)
• Indexes for fast searching child records
• Functions API for traversing over data model
• ONM API for mapping Java objects to vyhodb data model

• Auto expanding storage
• “Hot” backups
• Master/Slave replication
• Load balancer and non-fault-tolerant cluster
• Small footprint (1,4 mb)
