100% agreed. TIL that mysql uses RocksDB under the hood.

Here's another example of a realtime database which uses RocksDB under the hood: https://rockset.com/blog/how-we-use-rocksdb-at-rockset/



As far as I'm aware, MySQL does not use RocksDB under the hood by default. MyRocks is a distribution of MySQL that uses RocksDB.


Yeah, weird comment from GP. By the time RocksDB was born, MySQL was already going to prom.


Close, but in database years it was actually already in its mid life crisis.


Only if you configure it that way. Same as MyISAM/InnoDB/etc.
