+### `overlay` (universal)
+
+This is a special driver that creates a multi-layer overlay driver.
+
+All write operations happen on the top level layer while values are read from all layers.
+
+When removing a key, a special value `__OVERLAY_REMOVED__` will be set on the top level layer internally.
+
+In the example below, we create an in-memory overlay on top of fs. No changes will be actually written to the disk.
+
+```js
+import { createStorage } from 'unstorage'
+import overlay from 'unstorage/drivers/memory'
+import memory from 'unstorage/drivers/memory'
+import fs from 'unstorage/drivers/fs'
+
+const storage = createStorage({
+  driver: overlay({
+    layers: [
+      memory(),
+      fs({ base: './data' })
+    ]
+  })
+})
+```
+
 ### `http` (universal)
 
 Use a remote HTTP/HTTPS endpoint as data storage. Supports built-in [http server](#storage-server) methods.
