-## Overview
-
Bolt is a pure Go key/value store inspired by [Howard Chu's][hyc_symas] and
the [LMDB project][lmdb]. The goal of the project is to provide a simple,
fast, and reliable database for projects that don't require a full database
-server such as Postgres or MySQL. It is also meant to be educational. Most of
-us use tools without understanding how the underlying data really works. Bolt
-is written so that it's easy to dig in and see what's going on.
+server such as Postgres or MySQL.
Since Bolt is meant to be used as such a low-level piece of functionality,
simplicity is key. The API will be small and only focus on getting values

## Project Status
-Bolt is functionally complete and has nearly full unit test coverage. The
-library test suite also includes randomized black box testing to ensure
-database consistency and thread safety. Bolt is currently in use in many
-projects, however, it is still at a beta stage so please use with caution
-and report any bugs found.
+Bolt is stable and the API is fixed. Full unit test coverage and randomized
+black box testing are used to ensure database consistency and thread safety.
+Bolt is currently in high-load production environments serving databases as
+large as 1TB. Many companies such as Shopify and Heroku use Bolt-backed
+services every day.
