This post shares our KeraDB vs RocksDB benchmark results, and let’s just say it upfront:
RocksDB absolutely outperformed us in most categories.

But that’s okay.

Because RocksDB has:

  • 10+ years of optimization,
  • dozens of Facebook engineers behind it,
  • and billions of production workloads tuning it daily.

KeraDB has:

  • one maintainer with coffee,
  • dreams,
  • and version v0.1.0.

So yes — RocksDB is faster. But KeraDB is just getting started, and this benchmark gives us a map for where to improve next.
(Also: we did win one category. Let us enjoy that.)
