On Mar 27, 2014, RocksDB team @ Facebook held the 1st RocksDB local meetup in FB HQ (Menlo Park, California). We invited around 80 guests from 20+ local companies, including LinkedIn, Twitter, Dropbox, Square, Pinterest, MapR, Microsoft and IBM. Finally around 50 guests showed up, totaling around 60% show-up rate.

RocksDB team @ Facebook gave four talks about the latest progress and experience on RocksDB:


  * [Supporting a 1PB In-Memory Workload](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/raw/gh-pages/talks/2014-03-27-RocksDB-Meetup-Haobo-RocksDB-In-Memory.pdf)


  * [Column Families in RocksDB](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/raw/gh-pages/talks/2014-03-27-RocksDB-Meetup-Igor-Column-Families.pdf)


  * ["Lockless" Get() in RocksDB?](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/raw/gh-pages/talks/2014-03-27-RocksDB-Meetup-Lei-Lockless-Get.pdf)


  * [Prefix Hashing in RocksDB](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/raw/gh-pages/talks/2014-03-27-RocksDB-Meetup-Siying-Prefix-Hash.pdf)


A very interesting question asked by a massive number of guests is: does RocksDB plan to provide replication functionality? Obviously, many applications need a resilient and distributed storage solution, not just single-node storage. We are considering how to approach this issue.

When will be the next meetup? We haven't decided yet. We will see whether the community is interested in it and how it can help RocksDB grow.

If you have any questions or feedback for the meetup or RocksDB, please let us know in [our Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/).

Add redirects from old blog posts link to new format Summary: The new blog post links will be formatted differently coming over to gh-pages.
