  6. LAKEsuperior is an alternative `Fedora
    7.

  9. Fedora is a mature repository software system historically adopted by
    10. 

  10. major cultural heritage institutions. It exposes an
    11.

  18. Guiding Principles
    19. 

  19. ------------------
    20. 

  20. 

  21. LAKEsuperior aims at being an uncomplicated, efficient Fedora 4
    22. 

  22. implementation.
    23. 

  23. 

  24. Its main goals are:
    25. 

  25. 

  26. -  **Reliability:** Based on solid technologies with stability in mind.
    27. 

  27. -  **Efficiency:** Small memory and CPU footprint, high scalability.
    28. 

  28. -  **Ease of management:** Tools to perform monitoring and maintenance
    29. 

  29.    included.
    30. 

  30. -  **Simplicity of design:** Straight-forward architecture, robustness
    31. 

  31.    over features.
    32. 

  32. 

  33. Key features
    34. 

  34. ------------
    35. 

  35. 

  36. -  Drop-in replacement for Fedora4 (with some
    37. 

  37.    :doc:`caveats <fcrepo4_deltas>`); currently being tested
    38. 

  38.    with Hyrax 2
    39. 

  39. -  Very stable persistence layer based on
    40. 

  40.    `LMDB <https://symas.com/lmdb/>`__ and filesystem. Fully
    41. 

  41.    ACID-compliant writes guarantee consistency of data.
    42. 

  42. -  Term-based search (*planned*) and SPARQL Query API + UI
    43. 

  43. -  No performance penalty for storing many resources under the same
    44. 

  44.    container
    45. 

  45. -  Extensible provenance metadata tracking
    46. 

  46. -  Multi-modal access: HTTP (REST), command line interface and native Python
    47. 

  47.    API.
    48. 

  48. -  Fits in a pocket: you can carry 50M triples in an 8Gb memory stick.
    49.
