Alex Miller(@AlexMillerDB):@_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.
