@_Felipe @kellabyte It’s a lot more work to build a minimum viable ARIES btree than an LSM, and so we have less of them. But the number of really good ideas to play with have been ever increasing: TSBT/MVBT version splitting, Bf-Tree, Bwe-Tree. So we feel overdue for btrees being used at all.

@_Felipe @kellabyte I think LSM Trees have won largely because there’s no good btree library. LMDB is great but single writer. AWS showed BDB struggles. Cloudflare ran with TokyoCabinet and it’s not terrible but not great. There’s nothing of the level of polish and reliability as RocksDB.
