About:
RocksDB is an open-source, embeddable key-value store designed for fast storage environments. It provides high performance with low-latency reads and writes, supporting flexible configuration for various workloads. Originally developed by Facebook, it is widely used as a storage engine in larger database systems.
Key Features:
  • High write throughput with LSM-tree architecture
  • Configurable compression and caching
  • Point lookups and range scans
  • Embeddable with no external dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Storage engine for databases and distributed systems
  • Local caching layer for high-performance applications
  • Persistent state management in microservices
Alternatives:
  • LevelDB – RocksDB extends LevelDB with multi-threaded compaction and additional features
  • LMDB – LMDB uses a memory-mapped B-tree; RocksDB targets higher write throughput
  • Riak – Riak is a distributed database; RocksDB is an embeddable storage engine
