"@AlexMillerDB @dxhuang also the screenshotted text is a quote reply to another message about DSQL using Rust. So Moritz was replying in that context of why not Rust for Cedar DB"

"There is a new fork of RocksDB called ToplingDB which claims to be 8x faster In the Memtable SkipList is replaced by CSPP (Crash Safe Parallel Patricia trie). In SST BlockBasedTable is replaced by ToplingZipTable which seems to be their internal table with built in compression. They have already integrated with MySQL in MyTopling a fork of MyRocks"

"AWS published a blog post: An Aurora DSQL Story. It's less about database development and more like a love letter to Rust. DSQL's initial development was in Kotlin but they weren't happy with its performance. So two engineers who had never written Rust before rewrote a component in Rust. The code was 10x faster even though they didn't make any attempt to optimize it. They had spent years carefully tuning the Kotlin version which did 3000 TPS. The Rust one clocked 30000 TPS. Insane They wanted to extend Postgres. Instead of C they chose Rust again for memory safety reasons. For tooling reasons"

"it does mention years no direct quote from the article: We assigned two engineers to the project. They had never written C C++ or Rust before. . The code was 10x faster than our carefully tuned Kotlin implementation despite no attempt to make it faster. To put this in perspective we had spent years incrementally improving the Kotlin version from 2000 to 3000 transactions per second (TPS). The Rust version written by Java developers who were new to the language clocked 30000 TPS"

"Is there a in-memory cache which also comes with a disk component Specify the size (or the fraction of system's memory) for memory cache and it keeps all the keys there (may be LRU) and on cache miss it seeks from disk I keep coming back to problems which can be solved by this"
