Snapshots provide consistent read-only views over the entire state of the key-value store.

Once created, it supports all read operations—get or scan—giving you a stable, consistent view of the data as it existed at the instant the snapshot was taken.

Creating a snapshot#

Call snapshot() on any SlateDB handle.

The call is cheap and non-blocking; it merely pins the current state so it can’t be garbage-collected while the snapshot is alive.
