Local Meetups (Bay Area)

Call For Participation

RocksDB is an embeddable persistent key-value store for fast storage (especially Flash and RAM storage) for server workloads (http://rocksdb.org/). It has highly flexible configurable settings that can be tuned to run on a variety of production environments. Since open sourced by Facebook in 2013 Nov, it has accumulated 1700+ stars and 230+ forks on github.

RocksDB team @ Facebook is organizing the 1st meetup with people using or interested in RocksDB technology. We would like to share our recent experience on handling varied workloads at Facebook. We would also like to gather community feedback on the design of Column Families. We want to hear about your experience with RocksDB and the issues you are facing.
