### Success story: MyRocks
Some applications that use RocksDB, already have other machinsims in place to provide reliability. MySQL for example uses 2PC (two-phase commit) to write to both binlog as well as the storage engine such as InnoDB and MyRocks. The group commit logic in MySQL allows the 1st phase (Prepare) to be run in parallel but after a commit group is formed performs the 2nd phase (Commit) in a serial manner. This makes low commit latency in the storage engine essential for acheiving high throughput. The commit in MyRocks includes writing to the RocksDB WAL, which as explaiend above, by default incures the latency of flushing the WAL new appends to the OS buffer.

Since binlog helps in recovering from some failure scenarios, MySQL can provide reliability without however needing a storage WAL flush after each individual commit. MyRocks benefits from this property, disables automatic WAL flush in RocksDB, and manually calls `::FlushWAL` when requested by MySQL.
