============================================================ ZEO - Single-server client-server database server for ZODB

ZEO is a client-server storage for ZODB <http://www.zodb.org>_ for sharing a single storage among many clients. When you use ZEO, a lower-level storage, typically a file storage, is opened in the ZEO server process. Client programs connect to this process using a ZEO ClientStorage. ZEO provides a consistent view of the database to all clients. The ZEO client and server communicate using a custom protocol layered on top of TCP.

Some alternatives to ZEO:

• NEO <http://www.neoppod.org/>_ is a distributed-server client-server storage.

• RelStorage <http://relstorage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>_ leverages the RDBMS servers to provide a client-server storage.

The documentation is available on readthedocs <http://zeo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>_.
